A €200,000 settlement has been approved by the High Court for a teenage boy who claimed a Cork hospital was allegedly negligent by failing to properly diagnose or treat a cyst in his head that caused him severe and ongoing pain when he was a young child.

The settlement, which was made without any admission of liability, was made in favour of Isaac Keniry, of Walshtownmore, Dungourney, Co Cork, who is profoundly disabled and requires 24-hour care due to a rare genetic condition he was born with.
