A couple who terminated their pregnancy after a series of tests wrongly suggested the presence of a fatal foetal abnormality in their unborn baby have called on the Minister for Health to intervene and establish an independent inquiry into their case.

Reacting to news that the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in the UK can't undertake a review into the case, as was expected, the couple told RTÉ News they feel "abandoned" and wanted Minister Simon Harris to establish an independent inquiry to establish if similar cases have occurred.
