IRELAND

A representative for Irish midwives said they want relocation but they do not want any religious order to have a say in modern hospitals.
Ally Murphy, of the Irish Midwives Association told Breakfast Newstalk that they want what is best for Irish women.
She was speaking as the controversy over the decision to give ownership of the new €300m National Maternity Hospital to the Sisters of Charity rumbled on.
She told hosts Shane Coleman and Paul Williams that midwives want relocation.
“However the decisions made today will shape the future of our maternity care. We do want hospitals for the 21st century. We do feel that there is no place for any religious organisation in this 21st century care.”
