It is going to be difficult to end the uncertainty for all because it will depend on what we find. But even getting the remains out of this inappropriate place is a worthy goal in itself. #TuamBabies irishexaminer.com/news/spotlight…

The government also approved proposals to appoint a Special Advocate for Survivors who will facilitate engagement with survivors both in Ireland and abroad. thejournal.ie/masterplan-lau…

I urge the Government to reconsider the folly of investing €1 billion or more of public money in the wrong maternity hospital in the wrong place with the wrong ownership. The women of Ireland deserve better. - Peter Boylan #MakeNMHOurs irishtimes.com/opinion/letter…

Absolutely appalling. I studied for my Leaving Cert in a library. This should not be happening. How come there were swarms of Gardai for the Debenhams picket lines but none to defend important public services ? #CorkLibrary

Bishops feared that Browne was laying the groundwork for abortion and birth control. Doctors – particularly all-powerful consultants – didn’t want their hegemony challenged. Plus ça change? #MakeNMHOurs irishtimes.com/culture/tv-rad…

Watching the compelling Alan Gilsenan doc about that remarkable man Noel Browne, it struck me that a State apology is long overdue to him and his family

A number of former foster children and survivors of mother and baby homes will form a guard of honour on the Bray seafront for Sinéad O’Connor’s funeral because “she spoke up for us”, they said. irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4119…

OurMaternityHospital #MakeNMHOurs #CACOWH I hope we as a nation realise the importance of speaking out against the norm. The Magdalene laundries were part of Irish society until 1993. Condolences to all who knew SInead thinking of the family in particular her children. Ar dheis De go raibh an hanam. She is at peace now.

Magdalene Laundries were state-funded, church-run institutions that imprisoned tens of thousands of Irish women and girls and forced them to carry out agonising unpaid labour for profit. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

Despite public funding, several hospitals are bound by Catholic Health Australia’s code of ethics, which prohibits birth control, IVF and abortions, even after rape. It’s really stigmatising, it’s really judgmental and it creates shame. theguardian.com/australia-news…

“I want to know how babies could have sustained head injuries. Was it consultant error? Was it equipment error? How did it happen” she asked. “It is extremely rare. Why did it happen to so many babies in such a short period of time?" independent.ie/irish-news/hea…

A reduction in epidural rate from 47% to 35% in the National Maternity Hospital in 2022 was put down to “the widening of the inclusion criteria for the hydrotherapy pool”. thejournal.ie/birth-place-wa…

Large gaps in choices of care, such as home births or midwifery-led services, remain for many women across Ireland. If the only choice available to you is at odds with your values for your life, then it’s going to be really hard for you to have a positive experience.

Research from 2020 in Australia recommended “systematic improvements” to prioritise humanising maternity care as well as “the expansion of birth options” with midwifery-led care available for women of all risk profiles. thejournal.ie/birth-place-fr…

A consultant obstetrician put this down to Irish pregnant women being “fat, old and short”, when he was interviewed as part of research in Trinity College Dublin . This may reveal more about the state of maternity care in Ireland than he planned. thejournal.ie/birth-place-me…

It is important that we make this effort to shed more light on the history of Sean Ross Abbey Mother and Baby Home, for all those who went through it or were affected in any way by the practices that went on there. independent.ie/regionals/tipp…

We don’t know what we are going to find and it’s a potential Pandora’s box. It’s going to be long, it’s going to be difficult. #TuamBabies independent.ie/irish-news/i-w…

Over the 2009 to 2021 period, suicide was the leading direct cause of maternal death and the leading cause of late (within 12 months following childbirth) deaths. irishtimes.com/health/2023/10…
