“All I ever wanted was somebody to say they were sorry for what they did to my Eve." 

This is what the mother of Eve Cleary told a High Court judge on Tuesday as she gave evidence in the Cleary family action against the HSE over the death of her 21-year-old daughter hours after she was discharged from University Hospital Limerick and told to go home and rest.
