Dr. Ciara Kelly has lashed out against move to make the Sisters of Charity the sole owners of the new National Maternity Hospital
Dr. Kelly criticised the religious order in showing a “significant failure of atonement” in failing to pay off their outstanding debt to the redress scheme, adding that there was a “huge anger” among the public.
“The big thing is about the ethos. There is a long history of conflict between the church and providing women’s health in this country. The church does not approve of contraception, sterilisation, IVF, egg freezing,” Dr. Kelly said.
“It’s not acceptable that women have to fight for healthcare in this country.”
