A severely disabled 15-year-old girl with cerebral palsy has secured a €1.59m interim payment under a settlement of her action over the circumstances of her hospital birth, bringing to €4.5m the total paid out so far.

This was Sarah McFeely’s fourth time in court to receive an interim payment since she first settled her case 11 years ago over her birth at Letterkenny General Hospital.
