€6.5m settlement over boy’s brain injury

This is on top of a €1.7m interim settlement to 15-year- old Ryan Brennan two years ago. Ryan, who has cerebral palsy, will need constant care for the rest of his life.
Ryan, from Avondale Court, Cahir, Co Tipperary, had through his mother Lorraine sued the HSE for alleged negligence, breach of duty, and breach of contract at the time of his birth at St Joseph’s Hospital, Clonmel, , in January 2000.
