The North Eastern Health Board is to set up a group to investigate the death of a nine-year-old Cavan girl. Frances Sheridan from Cootehill had her appendix removed at Cavan General Hospital last month following complaints of stomach pains.
Her parents brought her back to the Casualty Department last Friday but following tests the doctors said they thought it was a tummy bug.
However yesterday the parents called an ambulance for Frances as the stomach pains had not abated. She was dead before it arrived.
Her body was taken to Dublin City morgue where a post mortem was carried out by Dr Marie Cassidy.
