Orlagh Aylward was stillborn in 2004. Her parents, Mildred and James Aylward, have tirelessly fought for recognition that her medical care in the lead-up to Orlagh's birth could have been different and if steps had been taken earlier, Orlagh would be here today to celebrate her 21st birthday. Mildred and James would like to move forward and to grieve their daughter. They received individual apologies from the staff in the Coombe, but they feel Orlagh's case should be recognised by the HSE and that the HSE should issue a sincere apology. I will send the Taoiseach notes on Orlagh's case. James and Mildred are asking the Taoiseach if he will follow up on this case with the HSE.
