Vicky Phelan’s devastated husband Jim told how she will leave an “impossible to fill void” as Ireland’s women thanked her for fighting on their behalf.
Mrs Phelan, 48, died early yesterday at Milford Hospice in Limerick after battling cervical cancer since 2014 after she was misdiagnosed. The mum-of-two had undergone a smear test in 2011 showing no abnormalities, before her diagnosis three years later.
Ms Phelan then exposed the CervicalCheck screening scandal in Ireland after discovering she was not told she had been given incorrect test results. Last night, Jim and the couple’s children, Darragh, 10, and 16-year-old Amelia, issued a statement.
