"They Fecked With The Wrong Woman" Vicky Phelan and the CervicalCheck Scandal. Episode 103

Hello, hello, hello!

We are back!

This week we lost health campaigner Vicky Phelan so we decided to talk about Vicky and the many other women involved in CervicalCheck, one of the worst healthcare scandals to happen in Ireland.

This episode deals with cancer so please avoid if this is something that may cause you upset.

We would like to dedicate this episode to the memory of Vicky Phelan, Ruth Morrissey, Irene Teap, Emma Mhic Mhathúna, Lynsey Bennett and every woman who lost their lives and have been affected by the CervicalCheck scandal.

This episode is part 1 of a two part series where we will be covering this subject.

Have a great week and look after yourselves.

Case begins at 29:14
