Mr Wall had been admitted to St James’s Hospital for a routine hernia operation but it was not spotted that there was an accidental tear of his oesophagus that led to internal bleeding and his death the following day.

Mr Wall’s widow, Mary Wall of Timahoe, Portlaoise, Co Laois, had sued St James’s Hospital, Dublin over the death of her husband and for nervous shock.

He was admitted to St James’s Hospital on November 2nd, 2015, for a laparoscopic repair of a diaphragmatic hernia but during the course of the surgery, it was claimed, he accidentally suffered a significant laceration to his oesophagus. After the operation, Mr Wall suffered a cardiac arrest due to hypovolaemic shock as a result of a large haemorrhage at the site. He was returned to the theatre where a 6-cm oesophageal tear was sutured. However, it was claimed there had already been a large bleed internally.
