The late Vicky Phelan was often described as “the best president Ireland never had" and to her younger brother Jonnie, the sky was the limit when it came to what the CervicalCheck campaigner could have achieved. 

Jonnie told a memorial celebration in Vicky's native Mooncoin, Co Kilkenny that when they were growing up he always looked up to his academic and funny older sister.
