Extra €635k for girl with cerebral palsy over mistakes at birth

An 8-year-old Cork girl with cerebral palsy who had sued a consultant obstetrician has further settled her case with a payment of damages for the next two years totalling €635,000.

Two years ago the High Court approved an interim settlement of €1.9m in the case of Isabelle Sheehan, of Millbrook, Mallow.

Her parents Catherine and Colm Sheehan had sued consultant Dr David Corr, who was carrying on a private practice from Bon Secours Maternity Hospital, Cork.
