An off-duty Garda who claims she broke her ankle after slipping on mucky ground while attending a concert at Slane Castle has sued for damages in the High Court. Rachael Goggins said she went to see the Foo Fighters and was returning from the toilets when she felt her ankle “crunch” and she fell forward. Ms Goggins (34), who is stationed in Dublin and from Co Meath, has sued MCD Productions, organiser of the concert, and Lord Henry Mountcharles, owner of Slane Castle. Ms Goggins claims she was caused to fall on muddy and wet grass near the toilets area and food stalls. She said the Garda public order unit got her out of the concert site in a van.
