Vicky Phelan and Irene Teap widower to meet PAC over cancer test scandal

Cervical cancer victim Vicky Phelan and the widower of Irene Teap, who lost her life due to the same scandal, will attend a special Dáil Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting today to highlight what questions they still have over the crisis.

The meeting will take place this afternoon despite a formal complaint by health committee chair Dr Michael Harty over alleged encroachment on his area by the PAC which led to a private meeting to resolve the matter last night.

In a private meeting yesterday morning, members of the cross-party PAC said that they wanted to meet with Ms Phelan and Stephen Teap this afternoon to hear first-hand their ongoing concerns over the scandal.
