The grieving husband of a Defence Forces captain who died of cervical cancer has settled a High Court action over her death. Ms O’Halloran, a retired Army captain, was 59 when she died of metastatic cervical cancer. Earlier, counsel said that on June 9th, 2023, on the day of mediation between the sides in the action, Ms O’Halloran died, having been gravely ill. Ms Justice Leonie Reynolds, who expressed her sympathy to the O’Halloran family, gave time for the parties to have further talks. In October 2022, Ms O’Halloran was diagnosed as having widespread metastatic disease.
