Date Published: 11-Apr-2013

Day four of the inquest into the death of Savita Halappanavar has now resumed at Galway courthouse.

Yesterday many witness statements were heard including that of Clinical Midwife Manager Ann Maria Burke who confirmed that she had made reference to Ireland being a Catholic country in discussions with Savita regarding termination.

She told the Coroner Dr. Ciaran MacLoughlin ‘I’m very upset about this. I did mention Catholic country. I didn’t mean it in a hurtful context’.

Today speaking on his way into the courthouse, he told media that he forgives midwife manager Ann Maria Burke for her comments.

Speaking outside court, Praveen’s legal representative also said that any plans to meet the HSE investigation chairperson are now likely to take place after the conclusion of the inquest.
