James Hyland, with his late mother Eileen Hyland. The family believes that Eileen's life may have been cut short and her suffering intensified because of alleged failures in her care.
A grieving family is calling for changes to the Irish Medical Council after a consultant who they accused of mistreating their late mother left the country when an investigation into his practice was to be launched.
Eileen Hyland, 68, was refused a potentially life-saving treatment for thyroid cancer, called radioactive iodine therapy (RAIT), in Cork University Hospital in 2016.
