Calls For Memorial In Dublin To Honour Savita Halappanavar


Share this article


There are calls for a permanent memorial to honour Savita Halappanavar in the city.

A delegation - who were part of Repeal the 8th - will hand a letter to the Lord Mayor this lunchtime.

She died from sepsis in 2012 after her request for an abortion was denied for legal reasons.

Ruth Coppinger from ROSA says it's important that Savita is remembered in this way.

''We would have seen around the time of the referendum thousands of people left emotional messages around a mural which was done at that time. We feel a pece of art or a public memorial of some kind would have massive support in Irish society.''
