'Another woman of Ireland taken from us too soon': Stephen Teap pays tribute to Vicky Phelan

Vicky Phelan died this morning at Milford Hospice in Limerick after a battle with terminal cancer. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2014. Her campaigning led to the Scally Independent investigation. She settled a High Court action for €2.5 million with Clinical Pathology Labs US. Last October she returned home from the US after the treatment she received there no longer worked. The Women's Council of Ireland said she was a formidable woman. They have much to thank her for. President Michael D Higgins said the lives of 'so many women' have been protected thanks to her.
