1. The Plaintiff in this action is now almost 52 years of age. He is Irish by birth and has spent much of his working life since 1963 working on large construction developments, particularly tunnelling schemes including the Victoria underground railway line in London, England in the mid to late 1960's. Much of his early work was in free (i.e. non-compressed) air conditions.
