UHL accused of 'cover-up' to protect surgeon found guilty of professional misconduct over death of teenager

TD calls for criminal investigation into hospital amid 'allegations of tampering with evidence and misleading an independent inquiry'

Surgeon was found guilty on three counts of professional misconduct and 10 counts of poor professional performance in relation to the death of 18-year-old Jessica Sheedy.

There was a "cover-up" at University Hospital Limerick in a bid to "protect" a surgeon found guilty of professional misconduct over the death of Limerick teenager, the Dáil has been told.

University Hospital Limerick’s Dr Ashish Lal admitted to the fitness-to-practise committee he did not ask for help during the complex surgery, which he admitted performing without having adequate experience or surgical support.
