Family members of Aoife Johnston, the teenager who tragically died in the overcrowded emergency department of University Hospital Limerick, have criticized the report by former Chief Justice Frank Clarke. They believe the findings do not fully capture the systemic failures that led to her death, emphasizing the need for accountability within the healthcare system. Their discontent reflects broader concerns about patient care and hospital management during crises.

The disciplinary action she faces is emblematic of the hospital's struggle with overcrowding and the implications it has for patient safety. As she steps aside from her role temporarily, it raises questions about leadership responsibility in high-pressure health environments, particularly regarding patient outcomes and systemic reform.
