“I just said please no, don’t say it, don’t say it, just don’t say it and she just nodded. And we knew at that point she was gone.”
“This has been a very long and painful journey that could have been avoided. Something needs to change,” he said.
“It continues to be a great source of distress to us and compounded our suffering at a time when we were already trying to cope with the death of our daughter and to grieve,” he told the judge. He added: “Even after we got to some truth at the inquest it still took four months to admit liability, again adding to our pain and suffering. Then, even after admission of liability, we were told that we had to prove that we were affected by our baby’s death.Laoise’s parents said the legal process was also a harsh and gruelling fight.
“We always wonder what Laoise would have been like today, would she look like him, have his personality, his cheeky smile? It is also a constant reminder that she is not here,” he said.The terms of the settlement are confidential.
