Cervical cancer campaigner, Vicky Phelan, took to Twitter to share her anger with the HSE and the State Claims Agency (SCA) for continuously settling CervicalCheck cases without admitting liability or apologising to the women involved.

Speaking about the now-settled case of 32-year-old mother of two, Lynsey Bennett, who is seriously ill with cancer, Ms Phelan said she doesn't know why Lynsey did not receive an apology from the HSE in court yesterday: “We do not know why no apology was made in Lynsey’s case but no apology was made in my case either until a few days after my case settled, nor was there an admission of liability.
