Campaigner Vicky Phelan has described the establishment of a long-waited CervicalCheck tribunal without proper consultation with those impacted as "a slap in the face".

Calling for a meeting with health minister, Stephen Donnelly, Ms Phelan said: "Why is it so hard to do what's right for women who have already been failed by the State?"
