Pressure mounting on the Government to take action amid the Cervical Check scandal
A protest march was mounted Leeside yesterday with women and men calling for answers to the controversy and for those responsible to be held accountable.
Representatives of Julie Dingivan and Irene Teap, two Cork mothers who passed away after receiving false negative results were in attendance.
Figures show 24 women who attended the cancer centre at Cork University Hospital are among the 209 women who received false negative smear test results.
Speaking to RedFM News, Nikolah Barrett of the Wardrobe Fairy is one of the organisers of the march and says this is not the end.
Future marches and events can be found on Women's Lives Matter Facebook page.
