A four-year-old girl with cerebral palsy who had sued over the circumstances of her birth at the Coombe Hospital, Dublin, has settled her High Court action with a €3.3m interim settlement.

The Coombe Hospital also apologised in court and expressed “sincere apologies” for “the failings in relation to the care provided” to Rosie Slevin and her mum.
