Savita Halappanavar and her child died tragically in University Hospital Galway. People in Ireland and abroad were shocked and bereaved by what happened. Many wonder how something like that could happen in a country with one of the lowest maternal death rates. Emotions are high and people are looking for answers. Breda O’Brien, correspondent with the Irish Times, wrote for the need for caution and reflection. She explained to Miriam Gormally that while having had a miscarriage herself earlier this year, she was particularly sensitive to the tragedy, there was still a need to wait for the report without jumping to conclusions.
