The McDonagh’s counsel, Siun Leonowicz BL instructed by Coleman Legal solicitors, told the court “the baby hit the floor head first”. It was claimed that owing to the circumstances of her delivery, Baby Chelsie was born in poor condition and had to be resuscitated. Baby Chelsie’s condition deteriorated and she died later that day. In her case, Mrs McDonagh claimed that every aspect of her life has been destroyed as a result of the death of her daughter. Mr Justice Paul Coffey said it was a very sad and tragic case, and he offered Chelsie’s family his deepest sympathy.
