We'll march for Harvey

August 16, 2025

A DEMONSTRATION march is to be held in Dublin City in memory of Harvey Morrison Sherratt, 9, who died from a sudden illness last month, after he had waited several years for spinal surgery.

- BY DAVID RALEIGH

The protest, which will also highlight the children’s spinal surgery waiting lists, is due to start at 2pm, August 23, at the Garden of Remembrance and finish at Customs House Quay.

Harvey's parents, Gillian Sherratt and Stephen Morrison, who both sought Harvey's surgery to correct scoliosis, a curvature of the spine, are to attend the demonstration, which is expected to be one of the biggest ever in the capital city.

“We would appreciate if you all could join us as we march in protest for #JusticeForHarvey,” Ms Sherratt posted on X.

CRISIS

In an interview with this reporter, Ms Sherratt said she and her husband “will not stop” campaigning for adequate healthcare for children, particularly for those who urgently require it. We're not going to go away,” said Ms Sherratt.

Asked what she wanted Harvey's legacy to be, Ms Sherratt replied: “It literally should be, for these children to get the care that they are entitled to, and that they bloody deserve.”

Ms Sherratt called on Taoiseach Micheal Martin to “recall the Dail” from its summer recess early, to debate the ongoing crisis in children’s spinal surgery.
