A former Irish boxing champion who lost an arm in an accident at work was awarded £410,000 sterling compensation in the High Court in Belfast yesterday. Mr Karl McCluskey (32), from Monteith Road, Annaclone, Co Down, worked as a train driver and was clearing cattle off the track near Doagh Halt when he fell and a wagon went over his arm. He sued his employers, Northern Ireland Railways. The action was settled out of court after the case had opened.
