€3.5m settlement over brain damage
In approving the settlement in favour of Rebecca Hannon, Mr Justice Vivian Lavan directed that €250,000 be paid to the woman’s mother Breda in recognition of her “sterling contribution to her daughter over all these years”. The judge wished them every happiness in the future.
The case was taken on behalf of Rebecca, of Sarsfield Avenue, Garryowen, Limerick, against the Mid Western Health Board, now the HSE, who did not concede liability. An application is to be made to have Rebecca made a ward of court.
