Boy (9) with cerebral palsy settles action over circumstances of birth for €14m

Henry James Nally suffered a catastrophic injury and has diplegic cerebral palsy, requiring him to use a wheelchair, his counsel told the High Court on Friday.A nine-year-old boy with cerebral palsy who sued over the care provided to him and his mother at the time of his birth at Portiuncula Hospital in Co Galway has settled a High Court action for €14 million.

Richard Kean SC said it was the Nally’s case that antibiotics should have been administered to the mother, who had a high temperature, and the baby, which would have killed the bacteria in his brain. Counsel said it was their case that there was substandard treatment at Portiuncula Hospital, and it should have been obvious the baby was at risk of infection. He said when the baby was transferred to a Dublin Hospital, he received antibiotics, but it was “way too late”, he added.

Outside the Four Courts, Henry’s mother Deborah Nally said the settlement will secure all of her son’s needs going forward.
