When Sinead Gallagher-Hedderman and Mark Hedderman were first interviewed on The Last Word a month ago, they were facing the prospect of mandatory hotel quarantine with their newborn baby Theo.

Although that situation was resolved, the couple are now facing a new set of legal issues.

Theo was born to a surrogate in Ukraine. In Ireland, Sinead is not legally recognised as his mother.

Sinead and Mark joined Matt along with their solicitor Annette Hickey to discuss this.
