Cork Family Finds Closure After Infant Son's Tragic Death | Cork News
Description
A Cork family has reached a settlement in a High Court case over the heartbreaking death of their newborn son Patrick, who died just one day after birth in 2021 alongside his twin brother CJ. The parents, Fionn Bohane and Joanne Duggan, described the birth as the worst day of their lives, battling for justice after alleging the hospital failed to recognize preeclampsia and denied Mr. Bohane presence during the emergency. Patrick’s death, marked by a white coffin and five years of grief, is now legally resolved — though his twin CJ, who lives with cerebral palsy, remains part of an ongoing claim. The HSE and hospital issued a heartfelt apology, acknowledging the family’s profound loss. The settlement brings closure to Patrick’s case and Mr. Bohane’s nervous shock claim, while the mother’s lawsuit continues.
