Today marks the third anniversary of the death of Savita Halappanavar.

The pregnant 31-year-old woman died at University Hospital Galway in 2012.

An inquest at the local coroners court was told the miscarriage of her baby was a contributory factor in her death.

Her husband has always maintained that his wife repeatedly requested a termination in the hospital.

Mrs Halappanavar will be remembered with a candlelit vigil on Eyre Square in the city at 7.00pm.

Journalist Kitty Holland broke the story and says her death still strikes a chord today.
