Dianne Willmore, who passed from mesothelioma in 2009, won a landmark £240,000 case, holding Knowsley Borough Council liable for her asbestos exposure during school. Her case prompted legal and financial ramifications for local authorities nationwide, leading to increased awareness and changes in asbestos-related negligence proceedings.
Shane Flynn, 35, owner of a Mullingar clinic, was convicted of sexual assault after inappropriately touching a client seeking back pain relief. The investigation also revealed 18 hours of footage showing Flynn secretly filming 35 women during massages, raising further concerns about his conduct and abuse of trust within his practice.
Naveed Rana, a Dublin taxi driver, was sentenced to five and a half years for the assault of an 18-year-old woman after a night out.

The Mother and Baby Homes Payment Scheme opened for applications on Wednesday, the 20th of March, 2024. This is very much welcomed news after a very long wait by survivors.
Coleman Legal LLP are assisting excluded survivors of the Mother and Baby Institution. Coleman Legal LLP have initiated legal proceedings for those under 180 Days residency and on behalf of survivors from several excluded institutions.
If you are not eligible to apply to the Mother and Baby Homes payment scheme, either because you resided in a listed institution for less than 180 days as a former child resident or resided in a non-listed institution, we would still welcome your contact. Coleman Legal LLP will continue to fight for justice for former child residents currently excluded from the scheme.
Coleman Legal LLP has worked with many clients over the past six years who have been residents in mother and baby homes and county homes, both as mothers and children. We will continue to assist excluded survivors until our legal proceedings have been concluded.
