There must be "serious action" at University Hospital Limerick (UHL) following the Aoife Johnston inquest verdict, the Tánaiste has said.

On Thursday, a verdict of medical misadventure was returned at the inquest of the 16-year-old from Clare who died on December 19, 2022, after being left without vital antibiotics for nearly 17 hours.
