Ms Vicky Phelan:

I was in work when I got that phone call and literally my legs nearly went from under me. Cian said it took himself and Siobhan a while before they rang me. It was shocking. I thought it was just me. Even when it was just me and that information was withheld from me, I was never going to sign a non-disclosure agreement just for myself because I thought it was outrageous that I was not told, but when I heard there were 14 other women that was it for me. I could not sit on that information. I had to do what I had to do to make sure those 14 other women found out. It is simple as that.
