The judge ruled during the settlement hearing that Mr Dennehy’s 68-year-old American wife, who is living in the United States, would not get part of the additional €35,000 statutory mental distress solatium payment and that it should be divided between his children only.
In the letter of regret read to the High Court, University Hospital Kerry said it acknowledged the experience was devastating for the Dennehy family. “We appreciate that your experience with the hospital during this sad time did not meet expectations and we offer our sincere apologies.” His condition deteriorated, it was claimed, and he died as a result of sepsis on November 16th, 2016.
The HSE denied all the claims and contended that it at all times acted with due care, skill and diligence in respect of the treatment and care of Mr Dennehy. Charmaine Dennehy told the court that when her father went back into hospital the second time she informed his wife and Ms Troxell had phoned the Kerry hospital once. She said she phoned Ms Troxell every two days to update her.
