The State did not apologise to CervicalCheck campaigner Ruth Morrissey for the “magnitude of harm” caused by the misreading of her smear and “now it is too late”, her husband has said following the 39-year-old’s death. Mr O’Carroll said that the Morrissey and Moloney families wished to thank all those who gave help, support and medical care to Ms Morrissey. Ruth Morrissey and her husband, Paul share a kiss outside the Four Courts after a High Court judgement in 2019. “Sabina and I send our sincere condolences to her husband Paul, their daughter, her family and friends, and to all those who have shared Mrs Morrissey’s journey,” he said. Ms Phelan paid tribute to Ms Morrissey on Twitter, describing her as “one of the strongest women I know, and also one of the most positive”.
