HSE sorry as family settles case for €2.8m
Tadhg Costello, of Gurrane East, Sunhill, Killorglin, Co Kerry, has cerebral palsy, needs 24-hour care, cannot speak, and is confined to a wheelchair.
His mother Mary Costello told the High Court the family had been treated very badly for the last nine years and liability had not been admitted in the case until last month. She said a consultant involved in the case had, after the birth, cried in a private meeting with herself and her husband Gerard, but the HSE then fought the case for the next nine years.
