Thousands of tributes have been paid to Lynsey Bennett today after the Cervical Check activist died at the age of 34.
The mum was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and endured three years of chemotherapy. She passed away on Thursday at her home in Longford.
She is survived by her two kids, Zoe, 14, and Hailee, nine, and leaves a legacy of fighting for greater care for women in Ireland. In 2021, she settled a High Court action over the alleged misreading of her cervical smear slides which missed her diagnosis.
