Presented by Jane Garvey. Children and asylum; a new commemorative coin for the Queen; getting pregnant after miscarriage; should there be quotas for women in the Irish Dail?
Presented by Jane Garvey. Should there be quotas for women in the Irish Dail? Mary O Rourke and Ivana Bacik debate the issue. 84 year old Patricia Diamond shares her date of birth with the Queen, and has recently been presented with a unique commemorative coin by the London Mint Office - the 2010 Vivat Regina sterling silver crown numbered 2 - the Queen has been given number 1. She joins us to talk about her life and we have a special report about what it's like to be a child refugee. Current guidelines from the World Health Organisation advise women who have had a miscarriage to wait for six months before trying again for a baby. But new research from the University of Aberdeen suggests that there is no need to delay.
