PJ O’Connor
PJ O’Connor was a 71-year-old farmer from Capparoe, Nenagh, Co Tipperary, whose tragic death on December 6, 2021, followed a failure in medical care after a brain bleed was missed in a CT scan. His family pursued legal action against the Health Service Executive (HSE) for the circumstances surrounding his untimely death, which they argue were caused by breaches in radiology services and delays in ambulance transportation.
