Couple settle for €130,000 in case against Cork hospital over baby's death
It was their case that the mother who previously had a child by caesarean section should have been offered a range of options in relation to the delivery of her child at Cork University Maternity Hospital and that a caesarean section should have been carried out on October 11, 2012.

A couple who sued over the death of their baby four days after he was delivered at Cork University Maternity Hospital has settled a High Court action for €130,000.
Senior Counsel Dr John O’Mahony SC told the High Court Baby Antony Roan Rojo never improved from “his pretty hopeless status at birth” in October 2012. Counsel said it was a very sad case and it was their contention the baby should have been delivered earlier by caesarean section.
