The statements from govt following the death of #VickyPhelan are making me feel some kind of way.

Knowing that she *told* them that action on the issue was all she wanted and that she didn't want their weasel words and eulogies... here they all are, tiptoeing around the fact that they owe her and the others affected by the CervicalCheck scandal far more than any insipid statement.

Tiptoeing around the fact that they failed her. That they failed all of us.

@froodie it's really infuriating isn't it 😔
@froodie it’s insulting, Vicky had the respect of the nation. They are a disgrace going against her very public wishes

@froodie Vicky Phelan. Mother and Baby Homes. Clerical Sex Abuse. The Stardust. Giving adopted children access to their records.

Find a cause where people with no power have suffered, who have the full support of the nation, and you’ll find the Irish state fighting against them to the bitter end.

Why? Who is the state actually fighting *for*?
