Revoke agreements that helped 'cover up' Jessica Sheedy's death at University Hospital Limerick, says TD

"A TD who accused University Hospital Limerick (UHL) of a "cover-up" by requiring staff to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect a consultant is to ask the Government this week to revoke the agreements."

"Independent Ireland TD Richard O'Donoghue said the move would allow staff to give their full accounts of events surrounding the death of 18-year-old Jessica Sheedy and help her family to finally understand what happened."

Richard O'Donoghue will ask the Government to revoke non-disclosure agreements at University Hospital Limerick. He said staff were required to sign NDAs that protected a consultant and amounted to a "cover-up". Revoking the agreements would allow staff to give their full accounts of events. The accounts relate to the death of 18-year-old Jessica Sheedy following surgery. Allowing staff to speak openly would help the family finally understand what happened. The proposed action seeks to remove legal barriers to testimony and to promote greater transparency and accountability in the hospital's handling of the case.
