A 13-year-old boy who the High Court heard was in “a fairly violent” road collision in Co. Cork five years ago has settled his court action for €4 million.

A part of Darragh O’Regan’s case was against the HSE after he claimed that his pre-existing brain cyst was allegedly perforated and this was allegedly missed when he went to Cork University Hospital emergency department six days after the crash.
