PODCAST: Former Ballinasloe consultant demands full maternity services return

A former pediatrician at Portiuncula University Hospital says full maternity services must be restored at the hospital.

Hundreds of people are expected to line the streets of Ballinasloe next week for a major protest over maternity services.

It's after it was announced last month high-risk mothers can no longer have their babies in the hospital.
