Two boys granted uplifts in their settlements over way South Kerry Camhs treated them

The cases centre around the boys being inappropriately treated with Risperidone, an anti-psychotic drug

Ms Justice Emily Egan in the High Court approved the settlements and included an award of €77,500 to a now 16-year-old boy and €30,000 to a now 13-year-old boy.

Two children who it was claimed were prescribed an anti-psychotic drug when they were treated by South Kerry Camhs have settled their High Court actions.

And in each case in addition to the compensation money an “uplift” of thousands of euro was added by the mediator reviewing the cases over the way each boy and his family were treated by the South Kerry Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.
