Baby Scandals: No formal order made to Hiqa to investigate

Opposition parties have demanded to know why a promised inquiry into the deaths of babies at Cavan General Hospital did not take place.

The questioning came after another baby died at the hospital, and amid concern over a damning investigation into Midlands Regional Hospital in Portlaoise continued.

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said the Government had gone back on a pledge to investigate the situation in Cavan.
