A couple who claim a healthy pregnancy was terminated as a result of being wrongly advised of a fatal foetal abnormality have launched a High Court action.

Rebecca Price and Patrick Kiely, from Phibsborough, Dublin, have brought separate cases arising from the termination of their unborn son, whom they named as Christopher Joseph Kiely.
