RTÉ Courts Reporter
The family of a woman who died from a heart attack has settled its case against the manufacturer and supplier of a defibrillator which it was claimed was not working when she became ill while at work.
The court approved the settlement of €300,000 in the case of Brendan Farrell from Hillside, Greystones Co. Wicklow whose 39-year-old wife Elaine O Keefe died on 10 October 2012 while in the canteen of her workplace.
The settlement was made without admission of liability.
In his High Court action, Mr Farrell claimed the defibrillator at Takeda Ireland Limited where Ms O Keefe worked as a manager was defective.
