Try the Irish mammies forum on whattoexpect website. Much more likely to get a rapid response than on here.

This is completely normal. Out of hours there is a consultant on call. It's the luck of the draw whether it's your consultant or not but either way, you're seeing a consultant rather than a registrar.
