The Maternity Care Needs of Refugee and Asylum Seeking Women in Ireland
This article presents some of the findings from the original research carried out with asylum seeking and refugee women in Ireland who were pregnant or who had recently given birth. The explosion in numbers in Ireland from 1998 onwards has been such that this group now comprises more than one in five of every birth in the country's three major maternity hospitals, all based in Dublin.

The decline also marks the end of a society which was characterized by an ideology of largely rural values which plac…

Despite a post-Potato Famine post-Independence ideology of unregulated fertility marital fertility fell by 36% in 1961-81 and a below-replacement level of 2.11 was achieved in 1989. Irelands demographic transition has been attr…
