A six-year-old boy who was deprived of oxygen at his birth, has been awarded €18 million in settlement of his High Court action against the National Maternity Hospital

The hospital apologised to the family of Fionn Feely from Clontarf in Dublin, for the shortcomings in his care which left him with catastrophic injuries.But his mother Deirdre told the High Court that as well as being a boy with a great personality he also faced huge challenges.Ms Feely was two weeks overdue when she went into Holles Street on 24 April 2015 to be induced.

In the aftermath of his birth, his parents were told to prepare for his death and spent the day with him waiting for him to pass away. An apology from the National Maternity Hospital was read to the court in which the Master of the hospital, Professor Shane Higgins, apologised for the shortcomings in care and apologised to Fionn for his devastating injuries.Ms Feely said she needed the apology as she had needed the hospital to acknowledge what had happened.The family said their lives had been dominated by the legal proceedings.

They said no amount of money would bring back the child Fionn should have been but they hoped the settlement would allow them to enjoy being Fionn's parents and to give him everything he would need to get the most out of his life.

Once again the default position of hospitals is to drag their victims through protracted and expensive legal battles. Six years to wait for justice is inexcusable.
