The widower and ten children of a 43 year-old mother who died during a surgical procedure at Mercy University Hospital in Cork have settled their High Court action for €725,000.

Sameera’s Barwari’s husband and 19-year old daughter looked on in the treatment room of the Cork Hospital as medics tried for over an hour to resuscitate the mother-of-ten.
