Date Published: 21-Nov-2012

The husband of the late Savita Halappanavar has rebuffed the Taoiseach's plea for him to sit down and meet the Chairman of the inquiry into his wife's death.

Enda Kenny appealed publicly to Praveen Halappanavar during leader's questions in the Dáil this morning.

He also described the Chairman of the inquiry - Professor Alkumaran - as a man of eminence and integrity - despite concerns from Galway Independent Senator Ronan Mullen that he's an advocate of abortion.

Speaking on a special edition of Prime Time to be broadcast tonight, Praveen repeated his demand for a full public inquiry saying he had no confidence in the HSE.

And he told the programme he will not meet the inquiry Chairman
