Saoirse Aylward, a Wexford mother who was 31 weeks pregnant, was injured in a road traffic collision in January 2024 on the Rosslare to Wexford Road. Her unborn son, Jax, died as a result of the crash. Following this tragedy, Aylward has led a campaign calling for new legislation that would recognize unborn children as individual victims in road traffic collisions. The proposed law, to be named after her son Jax, aims to provide closure and recognition for families who experience similar losses in traffic accidents.
