An inquest has heard how a couple’s life has been changed “forever” because of their baby boy’s “preventable” death.

Shane Rodgers gave an emotional statement at the start of baby Noah O’Shea Rodgers’ inquest at Wexford Coroner’s Court in Gorey on Tuesday morning. In it, he spoke of the couple’s anger that a serious high blood pressure condition was not diagnosed sooner and a plan put in place to deliver their son sooner.
