A man who collapsed with a brain bleed three days after attending a hospital A&E complaining of headaches has settled a High Court action for €1million.

The settlement to Declan Cully, the High Court heard, reflects just one third liability against Tallaght University Hospital. Declan Cully had gone to the Tallaght University Hospital A&E on August 8, 2020, with a severe headache and complaining of a 10-day history of headaches.
