Mark Keane brought the court action after an accident at the Johnson & Johnson factory in Co Limerick

Mr Keane has already told the court he was "not the man he was, nor the one he hoped to become" because of the injuries and felt "let down" by his employer, Johnson & Johnson.

Mr Keane has taken his case against Johnson & Johnson Vision Care (Ireland) at their plant in the National Technological Park, Plassey, Co Limerick, over the incident that occurred in September 2018
