X-Case legislation urged after woman dies in Galway

The Government is again being urged to legislate for the X-Case, after it emerged a woman in Galway died from septicaemia after suffering a miscarriage.

Inquiries are underway into the death of 31-year-old Savita Halappanavar, who was told by hospital staff that a termination could not be carried out while a foetal heartbeat was still present.
