A Co Roscommon woman, who had defective silicone gel prostheses implanted in her breasts, is to ask a court for judgment against the Dublin-based Harley Medical Group (Ireland) Limited.

Samantha Gibbs, of Hillside, Ballintubber, Castlerea, is one of hundreds of women who have sued the Harley Group, 5 Herbert Place, Dublin 2, and two other Irish cosmetic clinics, for breach of contract in the surgical insertion of Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) manufactured implants.
