Eamonn writes, "he is just a little annoyance to be swatted like a midget. Éamonn, Dublin." Was this use of the word "midget" just a Freudian slip for "midge," or does Eamonn enjoy beating up on little people? Be careful, midgets can be short on tolerance for bullying, and female midges bite.

alisaann...read my lips....the Catholic Church allows termination of the pregnancy if the mother's life is in danger.....it was not religion that killed this woman but the misjudgement of the doctors in that hospital. They are the ones that should answer for her death.

@irelandnorth, your concluding fact, fact #5 is the most correct, and Irish Central as it exists today is that neo-liberal, agenda driven, fake news agency.

Fact #1. "Ireland didn't murder pregnant dentist" since a country can't murder anyone, and murder infers intent. It's regrettable that a country which shares the same colour national flag (if not exact design) rushes to judgement). Fact# 2. This Indian mother-to-be could have had an abortion under the one extraordinary excusing circumstances of the constitution as it stands (to protect the right to life of the mother). The fact that she wasn't may at best indicate a genuine clinical diagnosis. Or at worst, a physician who may have been over indentified with their religion. Fact#3. An unintended consequence of The Good Friday Adgreement (GFA), 1997 entitled anyone born in the Island of Ireland to automatic citizenship of Ireland, (and consequentially the European Union (EU)) for the child and their parents or guardians, whcih led to certain administrative difficulties. Fact # 4. This unfortunate woman could have been referred on to the Marie Stopes Clinic in Belfast, if in the latter case above. Fact # 5. As stated below, people with agendas are using this tragic family case to further their own neo-liberal agendas - which is unethical in my estimation!

"RedBranch" - Please accept my apologies for my comment to you, below. I was annoyed with all of the anti-Irish, anti-Catholic rubbish ranting. Your comment is totally inoffensive and I reacted wrongly. Best Wishes, Éamonn, Dublin.

Thank you, "RedBranch", for that ever so cerebral input into this debate. Now go back to sleep. Éamonn, Dublin.

I have just now emailed the Indian ambassador to Ireland, here in Dublin, as follows -
Dear Ambassador,I note that the Irish ambassador to India has been summoned, in order to account for the tragic death of an Indian national in Ireland under circumstances of a dangerous childbirth situation.
Might I say that I am most intrigued that a nation, which turns a blind eye to the callous and INTENTIONAL murder of an average of 1,000 innocent young women EVERY YEAR, should seek to call another sovereign nation to account for an accidental death.
These murders in India are committed in the name of "family honour", even most disgustingly described as "honour killings" and they are NOT accidental, but are, indeed murders most foul.
Would not your authorities be far better employed at seeking to rectify the above - also trying to improve the death in chilldbirth ratio to somewhere even approaching Ireland's almost unsurpassed record in this field? I understand that 20,000 Indian women die in your country every year during childbirth. Twenty thousand!!!
Many of your own countrywomen arrive on our shores, already pregnant, every year in order to have their babies here and to live here. We welcome them and they enjoy living amongst us. Is this the thanks we get - one single accidental death and your government makes an international diplomatic scene out of it?
A little reflection on India's part would not go amiss.
Yours sincerely, (I supplied my full name)

Ridiculous claims from the Times of India. This is similar to the attack they6 made on Australian 'racism' because a few Indian students were amongst the usual nightly victims of street assault in Australian cities. Young people working in vulnerable areas late at night in taxi driving, 24/7s, petrol stations or restaurants are frequently mugged whether Indian or Aussies.
The Indian right-wing press turned it all into a major 'anti-Indian' racism attack. Total rabble-rousing rubbish. Several young Irish lads have become victims too in recent years. Does that mean we're anti-Irish? Pure crap!

The current clamor to introduce legislation as a result of the terrible tragic death of the young pregnant woman in Galway hospital, is being orchestrated by certain pro-choice(code for pro-abortion) groups. Irish P.M. Enda Kenny is showing prudential judgement in advising that one should not rush the decision concerning the introduction of any law in this contentious area. The Republic of Ireland must not be railroaded into enacting legislation which will eventually facilitate abortion-on-demand, as has happened in the UK.

Murph46: will you PLEASE drop the topic of those 4 deaths, when commenting on THIS STORY.....this young woman lost her life, because the religious doctors DIDN'T or DOESN'T adhear to "DO NO HARM".....they should have tried to SAVE the mother's life....forget the fetus....she MIGHT have been able to have MORE babies, if she was allowed to LIVE.

"Hermittalker", There's no point in trying to communicate with "EiriAmach" - he simply decides what he would like you to have said in order for him to respond to it. Then he "replies" to his own rubbish, but he claims that it is you who wrote the rubbish. As far as he is concerned, we in Ireland should all hang our heads in shame because we are Barbarians. He ignores the fact that we have a superb record in childbirth care and safety and he also libels the wonderful doctors and nurses who are so dedicated to their profession. Don't waste your time on him - he is just a little annoyance to be swatted like a midget. Éamonn, Dublin.
