from The Agenda
A mum whose unborn child died when she was injured in a car collision said it was almost more traumatic discovering no one was legally accountable for her son’s death.Speaking outside Leinster House, Saoirse Alyward said: “Jax was a four pound baby, he had to have a post-mortem, I had to bury him, my 11-year-old daughter was at his graveside, yet the law says he doesn’t exist."In January 2024, the mother was rushed to Wexford General Hospital after being injured in a three-vehicle collision on the main Wexford/ Rosslare road. Saoirse was 31 weeks pregnant and had to have an emergency c-section, but when she woke up she was told her son Jax was stillborn.Saoirse joined us on The Agenda this morning to talk to us some more about this.
