The High Court has approved an interim settlement of €4.6 million over five years in relation to the circumstances of the birth of a two-year-old boy with cerebral palsy born in Cavan General Hospital in 2017

The court was told that Tadgh McKenna from Emyvale in Co Monaghan requires 24/7 care because of what was was described as an avalanche of mistakes made during his birth at the hospital almost three years ago.

The settlement was reached with full admission of liability by the HSE and Cavan General Hospital and an apology on their behalf was read in court. In a statement read by solicitor Barry Healy on behalf of the family after the hearing, Emma and Damian McKenna said Tadgh would have been born a perfectly health boy if it were not for the negligence of the Medical Professional employed by the HSE.
