Tributes are being paid to cervical check campaigner Ruth Morrissey who passed away yesterday morning at the age of 39.
She died at a hospice in Limerick with her husband Paul by her side.
Ruth was awarded 2.1 million euro after being forced to go through the High Court in 2019 over the misreading of smear test results.
Her family say neither the HSE nor the State ever apologised to her, her husband Paul says it's much too late to say sorry now
