Ruth Morrissey: 'I want to move on and spend whatever quality time is left with my daughter'

Terminally ill Ruth Morrissey and her husband Paul who sued over her CervicalCheck smear tests were today awarded a total of €2.1million by the High Court as she won her landmark action.

Mr Justice Kevin Cross said Ruth Morrissey’s life had been ruined and she has suffered a life sentence which she is fully aware is expected to take effect within two years and for which there is no reasonable prospect of a reprieve.
