A consultant at St Luke’s Hospital in Kilkenny who carried out unauthorised research on five female patients during routine gynaecological procedures has failed in a High Court challenge to prevent his dismissal by the HSE. He also claimed Mr Reid was not medically qualified. Dr O’Hare also said he did not believe Prof O’Sullivan posed any immediate or serious risk. Dr McKenna said Prof O’Sullivan did not appear to have shown either insight or remorse for his actions. Mr Justice Barr also noted that Prof O’Sullivan still did not admit there was any misconduct on his part.
