Summary
A family has reached a settlement with Childrens Health Ireland over the tragic death of their 15-year-old son, Killian Burnett, who died from cardiac arrest during a severe asthma attack in 2022. His family argued he received inadequate care across multiple hospital visits, including four canceled specialist appointments over four years. Despite presenting at Temple Street Children’s Hospital 11 times for asthma attacks, Killian was never properly treated. A hospital review admitted missed opportunities, and the hospital issued an apology acknowledging systemic failures. The settlement includes compensation for mental distress, with the judge offering heartfelt sympathy. Killian’s brother Jordan said the case was fought for Killian’s memory and to ensure no other child suffers the same neglect. The family urges real implementation of promised reforms — including a two-week wait cap for asthma care — to prevent future tragedies and honor Killian’s life.
