Mother portrayed ‘as criminal’ by board
Kathryn Quilty’s son Kurtis was last week awarded €3.75m by the High Court after the North Eastern Health Board admitted negligence following the birth of her now nine-year-old boy.
Ms Quilty, a recovering alcoholic who was homeless for a time, said the health board admitted liability but still fought the claim. Other aspects of her background, including the death of her father in a fire and an accident that permanently hospitalised her sister, were raised in court.
