Savita Halappanavar’s husband objects to inquiry group after declaring no confidence in abortion investigation

Mr Kenny is not thinking clearly about this case. He says that the decision to remove the Galway hospital staff from the inquiry was made "to show regard for 'the traumatic effect on Savita’s husband and family and in the greater public interest at large.'” Any member of the Galway hospital staff would have a conflict of interest in such an inquiry. Of course the inquiry group should be fully independent, no question! We don't get to be judges in our own cases. If hospital staff continued in the inquiry, there would always be questions about the group's findings. Kenny seems to be worried about the findings reflecting badly on Irish health care, but Ireland needs the truth in this tragic case.

Definite signs that the tail is now trying to wag the dog! How dare he be so ungrateful!

How can anyone have an inquiry into anyone's death when the body no longer exists? Without an autopsy, no one could conclusively know what caused Savita's death.

He is right as it would be like putting the foxes in charge of the chicken house.Most people in Eire know the HSE enterprise, which answers to know one, because of its common purpose from EU

What a spineless and contemptible lot are the Irish ruling class. We have had ample evidence of this in the way they have been mugged by the EU and made fools of by their own gangster capitalist colleagues. But now we see a hapless Irish "government" (a government in nothing but name) caving in to the demands of one foreign migrant and dumping honorable people they had selected to serve on the board investigating this death. An Irish government with some integrity (and of course that's an oxymoron) would have told this man: We sincerely regret the death of your wife and we are undertaking an urgent enquiry into what happened. But this is our country, our state, and WE make the laws and decide what goes down here... How many Irish people get to veto the composition of such tribunals? NONE. How many public tribunals do the Indian government institute in circumstances of deaths such as this? NONE. Were they do so, it would of course have to be thousands, because maternal mortality is so high in India!
