Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP secures Apology and Substantial Settlement from Galway University Hospital

Our firm acted for Mary Keane (49), from Mayo who was belatedly diagnosed with a brain tumour at Galway University Hospital in 2023, following years of severe headaches.

On behalf of Ms Keane, we took a medical negligence action against GUH on the basis that her tumour should have been diagnosed years earlier – following MRI scans in both 2013 and 2016. Yesterday, in the High Court, Galway University Hospital issued an Apology to Ms Keane for “deficiencies in care” that led to the delay in diagnosing her brain tumour.

As a result of the delay, Ms Keane was unable to undergo surgery on the tumour which would have extended her life by up to 5 years. In addition to the Apology, Ms Keane’s case was settled out of Court for substantial damages.

Niall Tansey, Partner, interviewed by Irish Independent following Galway Coroner’s Inquest

Damien Tansey Solicitors LLP has acted for the family of the late Margaret (Margo) Regan who died at Galway University Hospital on 6 August 2023 aged 74 years.

Mrs Regan, who was married with four adult children, attended the hospital’s A&E Department on 5 August 2023 suffering from an abdominal infection and sepsis. However, there was a delay in administering critical antibiotics. Sadly, Mrs Regan’s condition deteriorated further and she died in the early hours of the next morning.

At the recent Coroner’s Inquest held in Galway, Coroner Ciaran MacLoughlin returned a verdict of Medical Misadventure in relation to the death.

Niall Tansey, Partner, who represented the family welcomed the verdict and he was interviewed by the Irish Independent after the hearing. Click on the link below to read more.
