Hospital's management apologises to Dr Neary victims

Management at Drogheda’s Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital today profoundly apologised to the victims of disgraced doctor Michael Neary.

The former consultant obstetrician carried out 129 hysterectomies between 1974 and 1998 – 20 times the national average. It is also believed that 44 patient files went missing and that the maternity theatre register was doctored in a cover-up bid.
