The High Court has approved a settlement of just over €14 million in the case of a nine-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who sued the Health Service Executive over the circumstances of his birth in 2012.
Richard Kean SC for the family told the court that Henry was in an extremely grave condition after his birth and he suffered a catastrophic injury. He was diagnosed with meningitis and septicaemia and placed in a coma for three weeks and he was later diagnosed with diplegic cerebral palsy. Mr Justice Paul Coffey approved the settlement of €14.166 million, which he described as"fair and reasonable".Speaking outside the court, Ms Nally said the family"cannot believe this day has come after all this time".Ms Nally said her son is"a witty, determined and very sociable little boy, who always lights up a room with his smile".
The family’s solicitor, Keira O'Reilly of Kearns Solicitors, said the Nally family are satisfied and relieved that the legal case has been resolved following what she described as"an extremely protracted and difficult negotiations at mediation recently". Ms O'Reilly said the Nally family would give all the money"back in an instant, and more, if the events of the 15 August 2012 could be changed".

Fresh evidence bid in Boy B appeal dismissedThe Court of Appeal has dismissed an application by one of two boys convicted of the murder of schoolgirl Ana Kriégel to introduce fresh evidence at his appeal against his conviction. Nice try! Not! Poor Anna. Why would new evidence not be allowed ? Seems odd Life should mean life. Not 13 years or 8 year reviews and definitely not new identities when released.
