- Seanad: Maternity Services: Motion (28 May 2014)
Susan O'Keeffe: There is no doubt this is a very serious matter. We are all agreed that improving maternity services for women in this country and for the birth of children is a key issue and there should be no disagreement about this. I welcome the fact there is a review of national maternity services. It would be a nonsense to review one part and not the other. We live on a small island and are all...
