An obstetrician at Cork University Maternity Hospital has admitted an “earlier intervention” into what was repeatedly flagged as a high-risk pregnancy would have meant a baby would have been "born alive", an inquest has heard.

The inquest was told failures were admitted to by CUMH at a meeting with Emma Cosgrove, whose son Kyle was born and declared dead about 40 minutes later at 2.45pm on September 9, 2020.
