Savita Halappanavar's horrendous death can't be 'compensated': India
Agencies: New Delhi, Nov 16 2012, 12:16 IST
Health spoke on the matter in Irish Parliament yesterday and expressed their deepest condolences to the husband and family of Mrs Halappanavar.
"The Irish government, at the highest level, is committed to establishing the full circumstances and facts surrounding Mrs Halappanavar's tragic death."
Savita's husband Praveen Halappanavar, an engineer at Boston Scientific in Galway, told Irish media that his wife had asked several times over a three-day period that the pregnancy be terminated.
This was refused, he said, because the foetal heartbeat was still present and they were told "this is a Catholic country”.
