The father of the late Laura Brennan is paying tribute to the ‘selfless’ and ‘courageous’ cervical campaigner Vicky Phelan.
Vicky passed away in the early hours of this morning at Milford Hospice in Limerick at the age of 48.
She was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2014, and in April 2018 broke the national cervical check scandal by refusing to sign a non-disclosure agreement in her case against the US lab that misread her smear.
The Taoiseach has described Vicky Phelan as as a courageous woman who stood up against the system in the public interest.
Larry Brennan, father of the late HPV campaigner Laura, has been telling Clare FM’s Rebecca O’Sullivan how Vicky’s bravery has made the country a better place for women.
