Vicky Phelan's homecoming: 'The people of Mooncoin have been very good to me over the years'

Vicky Phelan visits her home town of Mooncoin in Kilkenny.

It was a homecoming of sorts for a woman best known to many present as Vicky Kelly.

Having spent much of the end of the past year in America undergoing treatment for her cervical cancer, Vicky Phelan returned to her native Mooncoin on Sunday for a gathering in the local parish hall with her family and friends.
