While recent visitors to Tipperary's Cashel Palace hotel and bar might have raised hackles over the price of Mother's Day scones, one distinguished visitor had no such complaints.

CervicalCheck campaigner Vicky Phelan and her mother Gaby made their way to Co Tipperary for a night at the five-star hotel - a gift from a generous online follower - near the home of her solicitor, Cian O'Carroll.
