Cavan General Hospital apologized to the family of Mary Mulligan, a 73-year-old American tourist who died after a six-hour delay in receiving medical care following a fall. Mulligan, who was on blood-thinning medication, should have had a CT scan within eight hours, but it was delayed. Her family settled a High Court action against the Irish health service, receiving a €35,000 mental distress payment.
