The HSE has apologised and made a €4.6m interim payment to a boy who brought a High Court medical negligence claim over the circumstances of his birth at Cavan General Hospital.

Tadhg James McKenna, who has cerebral palsy and requires constant care, had sued the HSE for alleged negligence and breach of duty of care following during the course of his delivery on August 31, 2017.

Liability had previously been conceded in relation to breach of duty but causation was at issue.
