Settlement Reached In Dr Shine Abuse Case |
|
More than 100 former patients of disgraced hospital consultant Michael Shine have reached a multi-million euro settlement with the religious order that ran the hospital he worked in, the Irish Independent has reported.
The former patients claimed the struck-off medic sexually abused them while he worked at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. Yesterday Allianz, insurers for the the Medical Missionaries of Mary (MMM), which owned the hospital, reached an out-of-court settlement believed to exceed €8m.

Allianz insured the MMM for any public liability claims between 1963 and 1997, when the hospital was sold to the State. Last night Dignity 4 Patients, which has supported former patients of Dr Shine since the mid-1990s, welcomed news of the settlement.
"We have drawn some measure of consolation for the vast majority people who complained to us about Dr Shine," said spokeswoman Bernadette O'Sullivan.
Dignity 4 Patients has repeatedly called for a public inquiry into allegations of serial sexual abuse against Dr Shine.
