Mary said Jack was her beloved only son, and that his passing has been traumatic for his five sisters and extended family. The HSE has apologised to the family in writing. TheJournal.ie has contacted the South/Southwest Hospital Group for comment.Sean Lynch, SC, representing the Tyner family, told Justice Michael Hanna at a sitting of the High Court in Cork the fact that the HSE was admitting fault but not causation was of “limited solace” to the family.Justice Hanna wished Mary Tyner well and said he was conscious of how technical the details of such settlements can be when families are experiencing “awful trauma”.

Jack never came home and died on 7 February 2011. We subsequently learned that Jack received substandard care. Had Jack received early intervention and the appropriate care at CUH he would be with us today. Jack, from Kinsale in Co Cork was, the son of trainer Robert Tyner.
