Vicky Phelan calls for support for Kelly's Labour leadership bid

Vicky Phelan:"“Alan stepped up to the plate for the CervicalCheck support group, women and all their families at a time when very few politicians did"

CervicalCheck campaigner Vicky Phelan is calling on Labour Party supporters to back Alan Kelly in his bid to be the new leader.

Ms Phelan, who was given a terminal cancer diagnosis, has posted a video online setting out that although she is not a member of any political party, she is backing Mr Kelly given his strong support for her and other women affected by the CervicalCheck scandal.
