The programme for Government refers to the national maternity strategy. Many Members of this House are aware that interviews were held by RTE at national level and by some local radio stations with Lisa, who is the mother of baby Eoin, who was born prematurely and passed away in Letterkenny General Hospital last winter. Unfortunately, he was left in a room for up to a month before he was buried. I ask the Minister to learn from that experience and from the hurt and distress it has caused to baby Eoin's mother. Would the Minister be willing to meet the family to discuss the failure of the HSE to look after that child?
