'He was the love of my life': Hospital apologises to widow and family of man who died after surgery complications

Shane Banks died in Galway University Hospital following two operations for treatable lung cancer in June 2019

Ciara Banks holds a picture of her late husband Shane, with Banks family members Allen, Margaret, Mickey, and Ray, at the medical inquest last year into his death in Galway University Hospital in 2019.

A hospital has unreservedly apologised in the High Court to the widow and family of a father of three who died from complications after surgery to remove cancer on his lung.

But the widow of 43-year-old Shane Banks, who died three days after a second operation to remove his lung at University Hospital Galway, speaking outside the Four Courts said time will tell how much the apology means.
