Boy awarded €2m interim payout over birth injuries

Waterford Regional Hospital has apologised to the parents of a four-year-old boy who suffered brain injuries at birth.

The hospital said it sincerely regretted the injuries caused to Dylan Kenny and “the undoubted trauma which has been suffered by his parents, Claire and Lloyd”.

The apology was issued when the HSE admitted liability in the case last June. The High Court was told of the apology as Dylan settled his damages action with an initial interim payout of €2m in the next three years when his future needs will be assessed.
