Below is a statement from Minister for Health Leo Varadkar following today’s High Court judegment in the case of a clinically dead pregnant woman.  

“I wish to convey my heartfelt sympathies to the family and partner of the woman at the centre of this case at this most difficult time – particularly given the season.

This case and the judgement will need to be carefully examined before I can make any further comment on it. In the meantime, I would ask that the privacy of this family is respected, at this so difficult and challenging time.”
