Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Galway West TD says she is disappointed that the Government did not deal with the issues facing expectant mothers as Level 5 restrictions come into force.
Sinn Fein's Mairead Farrell says while she recognises that precautions must be taken due to COVID-19, it's extremely important for expectant mothers to have support with them throughout the process of having a baby.

Deputy Farrell says many women attending ante-natal appointments do not have cars to wait in and a more compassionate approach is needed...
