The Rotunda Hospital has apologised to a woman for the shortcoming and failings in care provided to her when she had her baby by Caesarean section six years ago.

Michelle Naughton had sued claiming the care in relation to her repeat Caesarean section fell below the standard to be expected and resulted in a near-death experience for her.
