‘We had to get the truth for Gráinne’

ALL they ever wanted from the HSE was the truth about why their beloved sister died. And an apology.

Instead, Gráinne Daly’s siblings — Kieran, Moira, Finola, Dermot, Lorna, Colm, Sinéad, and Ronán — were met with a wall of silence, forcing them into a traumatic and stressful four-year legal battle for answers about her death in Cork University Hospital in 2009.

Despite the risks associated with mounting a High Court case against the system, the tight-knit Cork family refused to back down. They felt they had to do it for Gráinne.
