On Wednesday, hundreds of people will gather outside the Dáil, Wednesday 6th Oct at 1pm to call on Health Minister Stephen Donnelly to honour his commitment to end partner restrictions in maternity care.
In the last year and a half many have voiced their outrage regarding mothers having to attend hospitals appointments, especially sensitive ones, and having to give birth with no birthing partner.
A long scroll will be unrolled and held up by members of the #BetterMaternityCare campaign group, extending from the Dáil gates.
