Couple awarded €70k for son’s death at Cavan General Hospital

The family of a baby who died two days after being delivered at Cavan General Hospital yesterday settled their action against the HSE for €70,000.

Baby Jamie Flynn died in his mother’s arms at just two days old. His parents, Francis Flynn and Fiona Watters, sued the HSE for the mental distress and shock they suffered following the death of their son, who was born at Cavan Hospital on November 22, 2012.

The HSE admitted liability in the case in July 2014.
