The former nanny of Cranberries singer Dolores O'Riordan was today facing a legal bill estimated at €300,000 after losing her case against the singer and her husband Don Burton in the High Court.
Ms Joy Fahy (34) was ordered to pay the High Court costs for both parties.
She had sued for breach of contract and alleged false imprisonment during her short time of employment looking after their baby son in 1999.
Miss Fahy, from Batterstown, Co Meath, was awarded €1,500 for the loss of clothing and personal belongings when her term of employment ended.
