Girl settles court action against Rotunda for €2.6m

An eight-year-old girl who has cerebral palsy and is severely brain damaged has settled her High Court action against the Rotunda Hospital for €2.6m.

Caoimhe Flood, her counsel told the High Court, falls into the most damaged category of persons and is spastic quadriplegic. The settlment was without admission of liability.

Two years ago the young girl accepted an interim settlement of €1.3m. Yesterday’s settlement of €2.6m towards the young girls’s future care needs is the final settlement in the case, bringing the total settlement in her case to €3.9m.
