Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has repeated the apology he made to those affected by the CervicalCheck scandal as the Government remembered Vicky Phelan.
The Dáil opened on Tuesday with expressions of sympathy for Ms Phelan following her death on Monday morning. She is survived by her husband Jim and her children Amelia and Darragh.
As she opened the tributes, Leas Ceann Comhairle Catherine Connolly reminded the politicians that the CervicalCheck campaigner did not want tributes or “false promises”. Instead, she said, Ms Phelan wanted action.
