Tributes have come out nationally following the passing of prominent cancer campaigner Lynsey Bennett.
The 34-year-old passed away at her Longford home on Thursday surrounded by her family and friends. She was first diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2017 in the midst of the Cervical Check scandal, eventually securing a win in her High Court action regarding the misreading of her results.
Lynsey was vocal in the media about her battle with terminal illness. The mother of two vowed to fight the condition and embrace the life she had left. The activist, who had previously worked as a model, appeared on an episode of First Dates Ireland in 2020.
