============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue again. I know it is of enormous interest to many people in the House.
I will check up on this. My understanding was that partners could attend for the birth of their child and we were to revise the guidelines so that they could attend other appointments as well, such as the 20-week scan and some antenatal appointments.
