HSE respond to calls for ‘full independent review’ of Portiuncula maternity services - Jessica Mercer Councillors broached the topic with the argument that an independent assessment is called for at the hospital’s maternity unit. Cllr Harney made particular reference to the Walker report, which was commissioned by the HSE’s Chief Clinical Director following a preliminary review into the care provided to six women whose babies were referred from PUH for Therapeutic Hypothermia (head cooling) in 2014. The report made recommendations on improvements to the services including staffing for midwifery. @SaferBirthsIre independent.ie/irish-news/he…

Another heartbroken mother, absolutely exhausted looking for help. 😥 A Cork mother has confronted Taoiseach Micheál Martin over the healthcare treatments available to her daughter Katie, who has cerebral palsy. Antoinette Burke said her 18-year-old daughter could get life-changing but expensive surgery in the United States. rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/091…

#Katie 15 years waiting for surgery. #ffg
No parent should be forced to take action like this. But this has become the norm for parents desperately seeking care for their children. Our children have been lauded in public for speaking up for their rights by FFG but failed endlessly by those same politicians.

Hey @MichealMartinTD it’s very kind of you to think of the family in mourning after the death of their loved one. It’s a pity we weren’t given the same level of thought, time or respect however. #JusticeForHarvey

My thoughts and prayers go to the family and loved ones of Charlie Kirk after his horrific murder in Utah. We think especially of his wife and young children today. There is no place for the gun in politics, no justification for violence in democratic debate.

I really hope this isn’t the case BUT if anyone is doing these threats in the name of #JusticeForHarvey please don’t. This kind of thing is completely unacceptable and when there are kids involved too it’s just disgusting. We have previously said that our issues with Simon Harris have always been political and not personal and if anyone is using Harvey’s name for this kind of carry on you are doing him a massive disservice.

For those of us who had the pleasure to love and know him. Harvey’s legacy was to spread the love he brought to our lives, not hate or fear #JusticeForHarvey

Cork University Maternity Hospital staff have apologized to the mother of a baby who died 2 their care for delays she later faced when trying to find out what had changed at the hospital since his death. @nmichael_ie The apology comes more than 16 months after the March 2024 inquest into Elijah O'Sullivan's death on May 6, 2022, recorded a verdict of medical misadventure. #CUMH @SaferBirthsIre irishexaminer.com/news/munst…

#JusticeForHarvey march was not in memory. It was a call to Action for all the children still waiting. Harvey doesn't get justice, he was failed and he paid the ultimate sacrifice.
