We need to talk about what would replace 8th Amendment, says maternity expert

One of Ireland’s leading maternity experts has said that we should not be discussing a repeal of the 8th Amendment without talking about what would replace it.

Dr Keelin O’Donoghue - the lead clinician for obstetric ultrasound and foetal medicine at Cork University Maternity Hospital - said we also must discuss the lack of ultrasound screening for foetal abnormalities.
