Taoiseach hits out at top doctor’s comments
The Taoiseach branded comments by Dr Gerry Burke, consultant obstetrician at Mid-Western Regional Maternity Hospital in Limerick, as “outrageous”.
The Dáil attack followed warnings by Dr Burke that mothers and babies were being put at risk by the Government’s fast-track retirement scheme, which he said will see almost one quarter of Limerick maternity hospital’s 200 midwives leaving the HSE.
