Couple settles suit over death of ‘beautiful baby boy’ Senan

A private maternity hospital and two consultant obstetricians yesterday apologised in the High Court to the parents of a baby boy who died soon after his birth six years ago.

Mount Carmel Hospital and Valerie Donnelly and Gerry Rafferty also acknowledged fault in the management of Roberta Dodd’s labour leading to her son Senan’s death.

The hospital in Churchtown, Dublin, and the consultants offered sincere apologies to David and Roberta Dodd for the tragic loss of their baby and the hurt and suffering that resulted for them from the care provided.
