For James and Carol Johnston, Aoife (16) wasn’t just their baby girl – she was their “cool kid”. Aoife was a teenager who was “beautiful inside and out” according to her father, James, and someone who deserved far better than the horrific death she endured at University Hospital Limerick (UHL) in a critically overcrowded emergency department described by consultant Dr James Gray as “a death trap”.
