Watch heroic Vicky Phelan get an honorary doctorate from the University of Limerick

The University of Limerick has conferred an honorary doctorate on Vicky Phelan.

Vicky Phelan, broke down in tears as she revealed she plans to fund a person to be employed in a cancer care centre to provide patients with access to the latest ground-breaking drug therapies.

Ms Phelan says she is personally willing to fund such position to “shame” the Government into following her lead and provide for similar positions on a nationwide scale.
