Outspoken cancer patient Jackie Crowe dies at 50

A cancer victim who spoke out three weeks ago against health service cuts has died.

Jackie Crowe, aged 50, of Gallowsfield, Tralee, Co Kerry, had campaigned against the cuts since she was diagnosed with terminal neuroendocrine tumours two years ago.

On June 24, she appeared on the TV3 show The People’s Debate, presented by Vincent Browne and recorded in Killarney. She had told of the situation in the oncology unit at Kerry General Hospital, Tralee.
