A 10-year-old boy who had to have a kidney transplant three years ago and will need another two in his lifetime has settled for €1.85m a High Court action over his care at the time of his birth.

Yan Sun was delivered by caesarean section at Cork University Hospital in 2010 and suffered a massive loss of blood and renal damage, his counsel told the court. He had his first transplant three years ago.
