The group is campaigning for the re-instatement of full resources at the hospital.
A public meeting will be held this evening about maternity services at a Midlands hospital.
The newly formed Portiuncula Maternity Alliance is campaigning for the re-instatement of full resources at the Ballinasloe facility.
It follows the transfer of women with high risk pregnancies from the unit after a number of separate HSE investigations.
These were into cases of babies suffering brain injuries during or after birth in recent years, with two external reviews into stillbirths in 2023,and the death of a baby in May 2025.
A petition started by the group calling for a sustainable and adequately staffed unit has also reached over 3,000 signatures.
Independent Councillor for the area and member of the Alliance Evelyn Parsons says it's about giving the public a voice:
