Aer Lingus is being sued for negligence after a child allegedly suffered burns when hot tea was spilled on her during a transatlantic flight.

It is claimed that the 10-year-old girl suffered disfigurement and permanent scarring following the incident on a flight from Dublin to Orlando, Florida last month.
