The inaugural Health Professionals for Life conference takes place in Kerry today.
'Dílis don Bheatha' or ‘Faithful to Life’ has been organised by a voluntary, pro-life healthcare workers organisation.
Registration gets underway at the Rose Hotel Tralee at 10.30 this morning.
Organisers say the conference is open to health professionals and to those interested in caring for life “from conception to natural death”.
Barrister, conservative campaigner, and former presidential hopeful, Maria Steen, will deliver the after-dinner speech.
The chair of Health Professionals for Life is Ballymacelligott nurse, midwife, and MTU lecturer Mary E. Fitzgibbon.
