Leaders' Questions (26 Apr 2018)

Dara Calleary: Everybody who yesterday evening listened to and watched Ms Vicky Phelan telling the story of how her cervical smear test was processed and then misdiagnosed, and then nobody actually had the courage to tell her about that for up to three years, would have been struck by the amazing courage and bravery of Vicky and her family.

She was not afraid to give us a clip on the back of the head if it was needed, and kind of took on the role of the Dublin...
