The head of the HSE offered the grieving family of Eve Cleary who died hours after she was discharged from University Hospital Limerick free private counselling, but it never happened, the High Court has heard.

The mother of 21-year-old Eve Cleary said they were delighted in a meeting with the new HSE CEO Bernard Gloster on May 12, 2023, four years after Eve’s death to be offered the counselling but “nobody got back about it”.
