‘Appalling behaviour’ of defendants forced Faheys to give up privacy

Olive Fahey had to surrender her anonymity and go all the way to the High Court because the HSE and those involved in her breast cancer misdiagnosis “behaved appallingly” as they contested the legal case for five years.

Mrs Fahey’s solicitor yesterday said the ordeal for her and her husband Michael was compounded, in that for five years the various defendants contested this case and brought the Faheys to the point where they had to give up their privacy by bringing the case to court.

Yesterday at the Four Courts, the Faheys stood beside solicitor Cian O’Carroll as he revealed the extent of their legal battle.
