A mother of two children born through surrogacy has launched an advocacy group aimed at improving representation and legal protections for families created through assisted and alternative routes in Ireland.

Modern Irish Families was set up by Wexford mother Lauragh Goggin in the last four months to support families who often feel excluded from existing systems and legal protections, including same-sex couples who she believes have been “left out in the cold” by delays and gaps in legislation.
