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

So it is happening.

One in every four couples will experience fertility issues.

Let's talk about it.

Let's highlight it and let's make it easier, regardless of whether you're like me, LGBTI and single or in a heterosexual couple or, you know, a gay couple, regardless of whether you're in a male relationship or a female relationship.

We are so many things.

Diversity is one of our USBs, I think, in this country.

But we need to just put a lot of the legal structures and supports in place to allow that to happen easier.

I mean, my mother's listening to this going, please God.

We had the privilege of meeting Pope Leo about two weeks ago, a part of our European group.

And I swear I could hear her say, dear Lord, please.

No, I kid.

I do.

I do hope.

You know, having this, I now come as a package, which to some might be daunting.

For me, it's exciting.

It's a part of my story.

And I'm really happy I'm at this place now.

And I hope come mid-October, I'll deliver a healthy baby and hope for the future that I meet somebody.

And thanks for giving me space to share my story, Brendan.
