A couple whose baby daughter died three days after her birth have received an apology in the High Court for the failings in care of the child at University Hospital Galway (UHG).

The apology came as Marie Donnellan and her husband William Hurley, from Galway, settled actions for nervous shock and injury against the HSE over the death of their daughter, Catherine Rose Hurley, on October 17, 2020.
