Aibhe Conroy's ‘parents haunted by final hours’

The possibility that their six-year-old daughter’s under-lying medical conditional was not effectively addressed is “consuming” her family, a solicitor claimed yesterday as an inquest into the death of Aibhe Conroy continued.

One doctor and three nurses from Galway University Hospital yesterday gave evidence at the inquest, attended by Aibhe’s mother, Kathleen Conroy, as well as her father John, from Gowla, Cashel, in Connemara, Co Galway.

The family’s solicitor, Damien Tansey, indicated to the inquest that Aibhe’s parents believe their daughter’s potential hormonal abnormalities were not effectively addressed by healthcare professionals.
