An investigation is underway at Cork University Maternity Hospital after it emerged the organs of 18 babies were incinerated abroad without parental consent. Leona Bermingham was one of the mothers featured in last night’s Primetime episode about the horrifying incidents.  She sadly lost her son Lee a few hours after birth and bravely joins us on the line to tell her family’s story. Leona spoke to us this morning.
