RIP Chloe, a child pushed out of CHI into adult services with no plan. Forgotten about by our Health Service and our Government. This girl died under @CarrollJennifer watch as MOH.

[Sandra Kelly @sank2016]

imagine taking your child to an ER, a place thats meant to provide care & save your life but instead just letting you die. Just horrific & what are the consequences for those that discharged her or in charge?Is this not manslaughter? Oh wait, they said sorry though RIP Niamh 💔

Rip Niamh. Another shameful failure at #UHL

Niamh McNally, from Bruff in Co Limerick, died suddenly in the emergency department in January 2024 after being taken to hospital with serious breathing difficulties.

The HSE has apologised unreservedly to the family for what was described as "failings" which led to her death and should not have happened.

"The circumstances surrounding Niamh's passing are a source of immense sorrow for us, and we sincerely regret the opportunities that were missed to intervene. We accept that these failings, which ultimately led to Niamh's tragic death, should not have happened. On behalf of the management and staff of the University Hospital, we wish to apologise unreservedly for these failings."

In her evidence, Carolyn O'Neill broke down several times as she recalled the harrowing details leading up to her daughter's death when Niamh told her mother: "Mammy, I can't breathe."

Carolyn O'Neill recalled the harrowing details leading up to her daughter's death
The inquest heard that Niamh had a congenital heart defect and had open heart surgeries as a very young child. She also had scoliosis. Her mother said she handed her medical notes into UHL emergency department when she was admitted on 9 January.

Niamh was diagnosed with a respiratory infection. She spent two weeks in hospital and was given an antibiotic and had physio.

During that time, she was tested and scanned, and on 19 January a bronchoscopy revealed a clot and a collapsed lung.

Niamh McNally was discharged on 23 January and told no more medication was required.

On 29 January, Carolyn O'Neill was out doing a small grocery shop and called home to see how her daughter was. Niamh could barely communicate as she was coughing up blood and phlegm.

Carolyn O'Neill called an ambulance and her daughter was taken to the emergency department at UHL.

She was deteriorating and a doctor said he would bring her into the resuscitation area.

A short time later, she was taken out to a trolley onto a corridor where she remained.

Niamh continued to vomit blood and was gasping for breath. Her mother was holding Niamh up on a trolley in a very overcrowded corridor and staff were so busy that it was hard to find anyone to help.

Niamh's mother said she was watching her child choking, then a doctor rushed to help and he grabbed an oxygen bag. Niamh's mother tried to help out by helping to give her child oxygen.

Niamh died from cardiac arrest a few hours later.

Solicitor for the McNally family, Damien Tansey, said it haunts them to this day that whatever chance Niamh had of recovery, it would not happen on a trolley in the corridor.

#JusticeForHarvey

[Gillian Sherratt @GillSherratt23]

We fought for Harvey at 12 weeks pregnant when we got the diagnosis.
We fought for Harvey at 36 weeks pregnant when they suggested withdrawing medical care at birth.
We fought for Harvey when we found out he had severe scoliosis and had only been linked to an orthopaedic surgeon that deals with feet.
We fought for Harvey when they dismissed my concerns around allergies-later diagnosed as anaphylactic.
We fought for Harvey when they tried to provide a buggy instead of a wheelchair.
We fought for Harvey when he had delays getting a suitable hospital bed for home.
We fought for 5 years to get him a speech device so he could communicate.
We fought for him to get scoliosis surgery.
We fought for answers when we found out he was removed from the surgical list.
Harvey is now gone and we will continue to fight for him, and for the other children and families facing these unnecessary and cruel battles.
We fight because Harvey deserved better and we fight because that is what Harvey always did.
If government or CHI think we will ever be quiet and just accept what has been allowed happen, they simply haven’t been paying attention.

[Mary Lou McDonald @MaryLouMcDonald]

Devastating report. Whistleblower alleging Harvey was removed from waiting list based on a false assumption by CHI that he was palliative. How could something like this happen? Gillian and Stephen were never consulted or informed. They were stonewalled. There has to be a full independent statutory inquiry. I will stand with them until truth is delivered for them and all the other families #justiceforharvey

Because journalists are too busy asking Heather Humphreys where she puts her toaster and her party just keep vaguely saying she’s “a candidate for all” I put together a list of some of her work 🧵#Aras25

@CandidCelt @LindadeCourcy @independent_ire totally agree as that is how I took it also so this advice is utterly ridiculous. Bottom line we pay a levy upon purchase (& that is all it is!!) so if you want your money back you must do the return but is it’s on the never never as you hand it back out when you replenish!!

@Mick_Finnegan An unbelievable day I have no doubt. You should be so proud of yourself. Can’t believe he is 90 but better late than never I suppose. The DPP has a lot to answer for 😡

[Sandra Kelly @sank2016]

utterly shameful 💔 how are the family ever going to get over this senseless loss 💔 @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD

Why are @MichealMartinTD and @fiannafailparty utterly silent on Harvey? No apology, no sympathy, no accountability.

If you live in the South East Region you need to ask what exactly are you paying tax to support? There is a clear deficiency over successive Government programmes in properly investing in the economic development of this region. When and how will this change?

I've just signed this petition calling on Simon Harris to resign over the death of Harvey Morrison Sherratt. Will you sign too? https://t.co/pX7HiBd4cc

[Gillian Sherratt @GillSherratt23]

A quote today from @SimonHarrisTD on Harvey,
"And when Harvey's case was brought to my attention, I immediately contacted the Department of Health and CHI and sought additional clinical consultations, which I believe did take place. I was always of the view that it was very important that any medical interventions were, of course, clinician-led."
he seems to forget that I emailed him a month after that Dáil date and I laid it all on the table. Don’t pretend you didn’t know Simon. Don’t you dare dishonour Harvey by pretending you did everything you could.
