Religious order says sorry over struck-off surgeon

A religious order that once ran a Co Louth hospital where an obstetrician unnecessarily removed the wombs of more than 60 women, today apologised for what happened and backed calls for a full inquiry.

The Medical Missionaries of Mary underscored the importance of seeking answers about the actions of Dr Michael Neary at Our Lady of Lourdes hospital in Drogheda, Co Louth.
