Vicky Phelan has criticised as "insensitive" Tánaiste Leo Varadkar's repeated assertion that Ruth Morrissey was included in a State apology before she died last Sunday.

Hours after the 39-year-old died of cervical cancer, her grieving husband Paul said she never received an apology despite Ruth successfully suing the State, whose appeals against that High Court decision were later rejected by the Supreme Court in March 2020.
