Brendan O'Connor · Maria Walsh MEP: “It takes a village – that’s the image I’m leaning on, as a gay, single mum-to-be" · 9 May 2026 podcast

They're so excited.

I mean, my dad, I think, is still in shock.

My siblings are so excited.

My two nieces and my nephew are offering names of every Disney character that you can imagine.

But everybody has been phenomenal.

And then my mum came to my first HSE public scan.

And that's an exciting journey.

And now I get to really...

breathe through it.

I mean, I'm not going to lie, after this interview, when everybody knows, I can now shop for maternity wear and not feel panicked that a constituent is going to say, who are you shopping for?

So it's all very exciting.

And they're all very supportive, you know.

The plan is hopefully arriving safe and sound mid-October.

I'll take November as maternity leave.

I'll start working back remotely in early December.

And then my plan right now is to be back in Parliament full time come January.

We do.

It's a bit nuanced.

So you can take up three months prior to the baby and then four months after.

But you cannot... We don't have proxy voting.
