Judge apologises to boy over lack of payments legislation
Ms Justice Mary Irvine said there is a failure to recognise the distress caused because the legislation — promised three years ago — is not yet available to allow for annual periodic payments to children with catastrophic injuries.
She was speaking as she approved a payment of €580,000 for the care needs over the next three years for Luke Miggin, who has dyskinetic cerebral palsy after suffering injuries at birth.
