Cian O’Carroll speaks to The Fifth Court podcast
​about Vicky Phelan and the CervicalCheck scandal.

Cian O’Carroll was this week’s guest on leading legal podcast The Fifth Court with Mark Tottenham and Peter Leonard. The interview addressed Cian’s introduction to law and how his interest in medical negligence law was stirred before going on to discuss his famous client Vicky Phelan and the wider CervicalCheck scandal, how wrong it was for the HSE and their laboratories to single out Ruth Morrissey for a test case at a time when she was dying and how well the courts work in such situations where a person has a limited life expectancy.

​Cian also goes on to explain why the recent decision of Mr Justice Twomey was incorrect when it criticised the practice and particularly the practice of Cian O’Carroll Solicitors where they commission independent expert medical opinion to document the injuries of a client. The interview was recorded (unfortunately) before the recent judgment of Mr Justice Ferriter in Mclaughlin v. Dealey where he considered the practice and said that “a solicitor cannot be faulted for engaging a medical expert witness directly in an appropriate case”.

“It was a pretty shabby thing that was going on” 

“She was just a wonderful person" 

"While she was always purposeful, there were other times when she would let her hair down and have fun."
