Settlement of €2.5m offered by State to end Kerry Babies saga

A €2.5m settlement has been proposed to end the 1984 Kerry Babies saga.
The State has proposed paying €2.5m in compensation to the Hayes family for suffering and mental trauma after their treatment by State agents in relation to the Kerry Babies controversy over 36 years ago.
The controversy erupted when a newborn baby boy – later dubbed ‘Baby John’ – was discovered washed up at White Strand in Kerry on April 14, 1984.
The infant had died from severe skull and spinal injuries. He had also been stabbed multiple times.
Joanne Hayes, who was known to have been pregnant, was later arrested by gardaí but a judge subsequently dismissed the charge against her.
