A protest was held outside the Coombe maternity hospital in Dublin yesterday evening, in protest against the continued restrictions in maternity services. 

The HSE's chief clinical officer and the minister for health have also not responded to a request for an urgent meeting in relation to these Covid restrictions, according to the campaigners.
