Day 170 - 05 Oct 95 - Page 16
1 after your second statement?
2
3 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us assume it was after, if she can
4 remember that it was last Tuesday week that she read the
5 statement, it was after 17th?
6 A. It is the 26th.
7
8 MS. STEEL: When you read the statement, did you tell
9 McDonald's solicitors that what Miss O'Riordon had said did
10 not accord with your memory in where she says that you were
11 not in the vicinity to have seen the accident?
12 A. Yes.
13
14 Q. You told that to the solicitors?
15 A. Yes.
16
17 Q. Because you do not actually say in either of your
18 statements that you did see the accident. Is there some
19 reason for that?
20 A. No.
21
22 Q. No. The accident happened around the corner from your line
23 of vision where you were working, did it not, and you were
24 not in a position to see it?
25 A. It was not around the corner and I did see it.
26
27 Q. The regular grills are up the far end away from the end
28 with the back room, yes?
29 A. The regular grills are in the centre of the store,
30 centre aisle.
31
32 Q. But they are not at the end where the back room or wash up
33 room is?
34 A. No.
35
36 MR. MORRIS: Just a couple more questions: Mrs. Norris, in your
37 statement you have used the word "wash up room" which you
38 say you do not use, you have called it "back up room"; you
39 also refer to the fact that full-time pay would make no
40 sense, but then you say she should have got full-time pay.
41 Then in the second statement you say: "I comment further
42 on Melanie O'Riordon's statement dated 21st June 1993", and
43 then you say that, in fact, you did not read her statement
44 until after you wrote that statement. Who actually wrote
45 your statement?
46 A. I do not know. I did not type it.
47
48 Q. So it was presented to you and then you signed it?
49 A. No, it was what I said, but the fact I did not change
50 "wash up" area.
51
52 Q. You went on holiday, did you, following the accident the
53 next day?
54 A. I cannot remember that. I cannot remember.
55
56 Q. I am just checking if there are any further questions.

58 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If you look at paragraph 8 on page 2 of your
59 supplemental statement, it really relates to something
60 I asked you a little while ago. You said: "It is very
