No blood on ambulance ‘led to stillbirth’
These are the words mother Fiona Ní Chonchubhair used in the High Court yesterday as she told how she felt a constant rage at the injustice of her newborn son’s death in May 2009.
Had an ambulance sent from Kerry General Hospital on a 114km trip to Cork University Hospital been equipped with the blood and staff to administer it, her second child, Aodh, would have survived and she herself would not have suffered the shock, trauma and anger that followed, Mr Justice Sean Ryan was told.
