An inquest into the death of a teenager at University Hospital Limerick (UHL) was paused for a short time after a family member left the hearing in tears, saying: “We have to go home without Aoife every day.”

The small courtroom in Kilmallock in Co Limerick fell silent as Aoife Johnston’s devastated sister Meagan burst into tears and walked out, followed by some friends and family.
