Ruth Morrissey court battle: ‘Spare victims my court ordeal’

Victims of the CervicalCheck scandal are pleading for other women to be spared the ordeal that a terminally-ill cancer patient was put through, to win her landmark compensation case.

They called on Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to honour his promise that no woman would be dragged through the courts, and urged him to reconsider the terms of a planned compensation tribunal which they say will operate just like a court, but behind closed doors.
