Parents of girl who developed meningitis settle case with €2.6m interim payment

Soliat Asiyanbi, who is now 10, suffered brain damage, has cerebral palsy and has to use a wheelchair, it was claimed before the High Court.

The settlement, which includes a 25 per cent discount to reflect the litigation risk in the case, was reached after mediation. The girl’s parents, Theresia Bakekolo and Ismaila Asiyanbi, of Tallaght, Dublin, had sued the hospital. On February 26th, the mother noted her daughter was not feeding and crying a lot and she vomited her feed in the early hours of February 27th. The mother phoned the hospital but noticed her daughter’s hands were twitching and immediately took her to another hospital where she was seen in the emergency department at 6.45am. The baby was found to be positive for the infection.
