A report into the deaths of four babies at the Midland Regional Hospital in Portlaoise is to be published later.
The initial investigation has been carried out by the chief medical officer at the Department of health Dr Tony Holohan.
Health Minister James Reilly ordered the inquiry after a Prime Time documentary hilighted the issue.
After the programme the HSE apologised to four families whose babies died during or shortly after being born at the Hospital.
The Agency admitted ‘unacceptable delays in completing reports, communicating with families and acting on recommendations’
