Mr Justice Barr said he could not find that the HSE’s decision to dismiss Prof Ray O’Sullivan following unauthorised research carried out on five patients at St Luke’s Hospital in Kilkenny was ‘unjust, irrational or disproportionate’.
A consultant at St Luke’s Hospital in Kilkenny who carried out unauthorised research on five female patients during routine gynaecological procedures has failed in a High Court challenge to prevent his dismissal by the HSE.

A gynaecologist who oversaw research procedures on five women without the consent of the women or his employer has lost a High Court challenge aimed at preventing his dismissal.
Ray O Sullivan who was consultant at St Luke s Hospital in Kilkenny had carried out the unauthorised research in September 2018 on women who were having routine hysteroscopies.
A second procedure which involved placing a catheter and small pressure pad inside their vaginas was carried out. It was part of research designed to ascertain if some procedures could be carried out without the use of a speculum.
None of the patients had been informed about the research or consented to the procedure, nor had they been aware of it afterwards.

An urban renewal project launched in 2015 has created more than a few reasons for residents and visitors in Colorado Springs to stop and dine or even to relocate to the once blighted and crime-ridden neighborhoods along South Nevada Avenue.
Construction workers are currently moving dirt on another, which is being billed as the crown jewel in a massive makeover of the district: A luxury hotel and campus that will take up 17 lots at 1619 S. Tejon Street.
