An 11-year-old girl who has cerebral palsy and is confined to a wheelchair yesterday settled for €9m her High Court action over her care around the time of her birth.

CORK is unusual in that houses rarely go for auction in the city – perhaps the southern temperament prefers a quiet deal, or there’s a reluctance to pay up front – or even, it might be letting the world know you have the money.

A 61-YEAR-OLD father of three who was left a paraplegic following an operation to remove a tumour from his spine could have been treated without surgery, the High Court heard yesterday.
