I outlined to the Minister the situation with the family who were facing...

National Maternity Hospital: Motion [Private Members] (20 Jan 2022)

Joan Collins: It looks like we have been deserted tonight in regard to this debate. I want to concur with Deputy Connolly in terms of the response from the Minister of State.
