Galway Bay fm newsroom - Tributes have been paid following the death of an Oranmore woman who was one of those impacted by the negligent reading of a smear test.
Patricia Carrick died peacefully at her family home in the early hours of today.
She was diagnosed with cervical cancer last year and underwent treatment, but suffered a relapse in February.
Earlier this month, the HSE and MedLab Pathology Ltd apologised to Mrs. Carrick in the High Court over the negligent reading of a smear test in 2016, and for the consequences and distress caused.
The Taoiseach Micheál Martin also offered a formal apology to Patricia Carrick and her husband Damien, as well as their four children.
Cervical Check campaigner Vicky Phelan told Keith Finnegan on Galway Talks that Patricia has fought a long battle and can now rest in peace.
