A mother has told a High Court judge how she had had to fight the HSE for therapies and even wheelchairs for her brain-damaged daughter who cannot speak, has cerebral palsy and is spastic quadriplegic.

“It’s a shambles, our daughter Emily has been badly let down, The HSE has been very lax. It would be an injustice to Emily not to say it and I appreciate you listening to me,” she told Mr Justice Paul Coffey in the Four Courts.
