A court heard that the family of Aileen Halligan were “disturbed by what happened” on the day she died
"What happened has been completely life-changing. We have been left completely devastated by the loss of our beautiful mum."
Her daughter Aoife Halligan Brown and sons Shane and Niall Halligan, all from Cobh, sued Abid Hussaini, consultant interventional cardiologist of the Mater Private Hospital, Mahon, Cork, over the death of Mrs Halligan on May 31, 2017. Mrs Halligan’s husband, James, was originally a plaintiff in the case but he died in May 2021.
In the proceedings, it was claimed there was a failure to warn Mrs Halligan of the risk of perforation involved in stenting and an alleged failure to exercise the care, diligence, judgement and skill to be expected. All of the claims were denied. "We did not get to say goodbye. If we knew about the risks and complications we would have not said that morning 'see you later'. We would have dealt with things differently," she said.
She added: "What happened has been completely life-changing. We have been left completely devastated by the loss of our beautiful mum."
