Court awards €4.5m to boy whose parents took case against HSE

The High Court has approved a €4.5m settlement to a 14-year-old Sligo boy with cerebral palsy and severe spastic quadriplegia.

The mother of Evan Doyle of Mountain Close, Cartron View sued the HSE, claiming his condition was a result of the mismanagement of her labour at Sligo General Hospital in October 1995.
