| 902 | Breda Kerans | I fully support continued insurance cover for independent midwives, without which the choice of a homebirth will be taken away from many women in Ireland. This is a right for all women. |
| 903 | Anita Byrne | Women in Ireland need more birthplace choices not less! |
| 904 | Germaine Reidy | Ireland has such a wonderful tradition of midwifery care and homebirth options are a necessary element of this image. Women deserve the right to choose a homebirth. It is unethical to withdraw midwives insurance cover for their clients who choose to birth at home.
I ask you to withdraw the March 30th deadine. |
| 905 | Jessica Heinrich | |
| 906 | Kara Sylvester | Keep the Midwives insured!! |
| 907 | Alison Luke | This is the service women have been providing since the beginning of time. This is the service we should honor and trust, as we are created to give birth naturally. Please reinstate insurance for the women providing this highly needed service! |
| 908 | Amy Hyams | Not only independent midwives will suffer if insurance coverage is withdrawn, but all humans. Midwives are dedicated to practices of gentle birth, something that is NOT present in hospital. Our babies ask you to please immediately reinstate malpractice insurance coverage for Independent Midwives in Ireland. |
| 909 | Linda Gruber | I believe that women EVERYWHERE should have a choice of where and how they want to birth their babies. Why would anyone think they could take that choice away? Please support the homebirth community. It is very important to all women nation wide at this time!! |

| 912 | Anna Hutchinson | This is absolutely despicable! Why is it in Ireland, instead of moving FORWARD and providing women every possible option to have the birth of their choice, we're moving BACKWARDS and having our choices limited?
I'm absolutely disgusted. |
| 913 | Deb Davis | I want the right to birth my baby at home, with a midwife who is insured. |
| 914 | Florence Vion | |
| 915 | Greg Bradley | Having the support of our independent midwife has helped make this pregnancy an empowering adventure for us both. We are looking forward to the actual birth and can see the baby as being at home already. |

| 919 | caroline harte | I have twice benefited from excellent home-birth service and would not hesitate to recommend it to any of my friends. Please think again before deciding to force women into second rate hospitals against their rights/will. Women deserve a choice .Surely there is enough chaos/dis -repute within the health service at present without adding additional conflict. Please re-consider this action from a women`s perspective, insure the fantastic team of midwives. Let them continue to offer their expertise/skills/standards where we most appreciate them. There is enough casaulties due to red tape and policies within the HSE, don`t add more needlessly.

| 924 | Nathan Happiness Davis Dempsey | I was born at home 9 years ago and so was my best friend and I think that they should let midwives keep doing their great work. |

| 926 | Susan McDowell | As someone who has had two very empowering homebirths on the NHS in Northern Ireland, I feel outraged and saddened at the prospect that women in the Republic of Ireland are in danger of losing their right to have a home birth. |

| 938 | Suzanne Collins-Hurrell | Hi, I had a beautiful home birth last year and would recommend this way of giving birth to anyone who is fit and healthy and has had a trouble-free pregnancy. My midwife was an angel and the aftercare was second to none. |

| 946 | Anonymous | Given the current state of play in Ireland's health service ie maternity wards closed etc. this move surprises and concerns me greatly. Women in Ireland are entitled and well able to choose whats best for them and by refusing insurance to midwives the INO has effectively limited their choice. |

| 949 | Patrick Treacy | To whom it may concern,
It is very important to my wife and I to have the option of a home birth. Our first child was born at home, and the weight of global statistics seems to support the scheme as largely safe. We, and other parents like us, need your support in this. |
