Woman who claimed late husband was given penicillin despite allergy settles action against hospital

A woman whose husband died in the Mater Hospital, Dublin after it was claimed he was given a penicillin related medication even though he was allegedly allergic to penicillin has settled her High Court action.

Father of four and grandfather of ten, James Egan, it was claimed, was administered a penicillin-related medication on a number of occasions as he recovered from a heart bypass operation.
