Cork's ‘beautiful cancer warrior’ Orla Flavin passes away 

Ms Flavin passed away "peacefully, surrounded by her loving family after an illness bravely fought with great courage and dignity in the loving care of all at the ICU ward Cork University Hospital", her death notice reads.

A young Cobh mother who was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer just under a year ago has died after battling the disease “with great courage and dignity”.

Orla Flavin, who went public about her diagnosis on the Neil Prendeville's show on Cork's Red FM last Christmas, passed away in recent days in the intensive care unit of Cork University Hospital.
