A West Clare mother who is campaigning for the easing of maternity restrictions is urging the UL Hospitals group to review its visiting policy at University Maternity Hospital Limerick.
From Monday, Covid 19 restrictions will be eased on a number of fronts but measures which see pregnant women having to attend many hospital appointments without their partners will remain in place.
Campaigners are calling for these restrictions to be lifted now that the majority of healthcare staff have been vaccinated.
Ciara McGuane from Kilnamona started the In Our Shoes Covid pregancy Facebook Page after she gave birth to her son without her partner present in March 2020, due to the restrictions implemented during the first lockdown.
With other sectors of society now reopening, Ciara says it’s now time for hospital management to review the restrictions in place for new parents and their families at UHL.
