Dr. Anthony McCarthy:

There is a little bit of me in Holles Street, a little bit of one of my colleagues in the Rotunda and a little bit of another colleague in the Coombe employed specifically in that role. There is none outside of Dublin. Professor O'Keane, who works in Tallaght hospital, addressed the committee. She has a long history of having worked in perinatal psychiatry, but she does not do that anymore. She is not working in a maternity hospital.

Outside of Dublin, there are no specialists and hardly any psychiatric input in some maternity hospitals except where, for example, a very small number of women become acutely psychotic or unwell. As to seeing women during pregnancy for assessments or afterwards in general, however, there is almost nothing outside of Dublin in terms of specialists.
