A couple who sued the HSE over the death of their baby three days after his birth at Mayo University Hospital settled a High Court action against the HSE.

Cian Hunt died in the arms of his parents Breda and David Hunt on October 6th, 2018, in a Dublin hospital to which he had been transferred for specialist treatment to reduce his brain swelling.

The terms of the settlement are confidential and were made without an admission of liability. The case was before the court last week for the division of the statutory €35,000 mental distress payment only.
