A Tipperary family has received High Court settlements from two different hospitals following the deaths of a father and his son. PJ Lonergan’s son Mark sued the HSE through his mother Anne Marie Butler over the death of his father on May 7th, 2014. The hospital also extended its sympathy to the Lonergan family and acknowledged his death had been a great source of distress to his family. St Luke’s Hospital apologised to Ms Lonergan and the Lonergan family for the care provided to Eddie Lonergan. Ms Lonergan’s counsel Jeremy Maher SC said Eddie Lonergan was a father and grandfather and that 2013 was another tragic year for the Lonergan family.
