Mother and baby to be laid to rest today after CUMH tragedy

Minister for Health Simon Harris has said an independent review will be carried out into the deaths, which will be separate from the hospital's own inquiry.

The mother and son who tragically passed away at Cork University Maternity Hospital this week are to be laid to rest together today.

36-year-old Marie Downey was found dead on the floor of her hospital room on Monday morning at around 8am.
