Gardai have put in place a traffic management plan ahead of a memorial service for the late cervical cancer awareness campaigner Vicky Phelan who died almost two weeks ago as hundreds are expected to descend on the Co Kilkenny village where she grew-up.
The mother-of-two originally from Mooncoin, Co Kilkenny but who lived in Annacotty, Co Limerick, who died on November 14, lifted the lid in 2018 with a High Court case in 2018 over how her cervical smear tests were handled after the HSE outsourced them to a US firm.
The 48-year-old was awarded €2.5m in damages but without admission of liability by the HSE and she refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement prior to the settlement which was settled on the steps of the High Court just prior to the case being heard.
