A woman had her personal injuries claim against fast-food restaurant Supermac’s dismissed after a judge found she was “wholly distracted” by her phone when she claimed she tripped over a vacuum cleaner.

Mary Darcy, of Sceilg Ard, Headford Road, Galway city, pursued a claim for damages after the incident in Charlestown, Co Mayo in December 2017.
