Boy ordered to be returned to hospital to undergo brain scan
Felix McEnroy, counsel for the HSE’s Child and Family Agency, told Mr Justice Kevin Cross that the boy was at the high end of disturbed children and had previously suffered a brain injury.
He had undergone a surgical operation and had suffered a very worrying deterioration of his condition. While in care detention, he had started dropping cups, suffering headaches and had developed a problem with his speech and memory.
