Indian mother died 8 days after birth

The depths of Irish motherhood was underlined at the opening of an inquest into the death of a 29-year-old woman who died after she gave birth to her first baby in Sligo.

She was Indian but “had become more Irish than the Irish themselves”, solicitor Damian Tansey said about Dhara Kivlehan.

“She was a young mother and her tragic passing means that her son won’t have a mother to see him through the various critical signpost events in his development in his life.
