Coppinger: Govt inaction responsible for 'medieval treatment' of Savita
Socialist Party councillor Ruth Coppinger has blasted the "cowardly inaction of successive governments since 1992" for the death of Savita Halappanavar in a Galway hospital after she was refused an abortion.
Savita, a dentist aged 31, was 17 weeks pregnant when she died after suffering a miscarriage and septicaemia.
