A woman has told how she watched as her husband tried to resuscitate their 21-year-old daughter after she collapsed at home just hours after being discharged from University Hospital Limerick.

“He kept saying 'stay with me, look at me',” Melanie Sheehan Cleary told the High Court judge hearing her family’s action against the HSE over the death of her eldest child, Eve, five years ago.
