AN eight-year-old boy has secured a €3m settlement in a High Court action over severe injuries he suffered at birth.
Sean Fitzpatrick, who has cerebral palsy, is unable to speak and will require a wheelchair as a result of the injuries he sustained during his birth at Mayo General Hospital, Castlebar, on March 29, 2001.
Sean, who sued through his mother Gillian Fitzpatrick of Nephin View, Foxford, Co Mayo, alleged negligence against the Health Service Executive (HSE) and consultant obstetrician Dr Darragh Corcoran.
The settlement was approved by the President of the High Court Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns after talks between lawyers for both sides.
