Killarney

<h3>Books of Condolence for the late Vicky Phelan (RIP) will open at lunchtime today (Tuesday) at County Buildings in Tralee and at Killarney Town Hall.</h3>
Tributes have been pouring in yesterday morning (Monday) as the sad news broke that cervical cancer campaigner had passed away.
Books of Condolence will also be available at Listowel and Tralee (Prince’s Quay) Municipal District offices from 9am on Wednesday.
The Kilkenny native had been very vocal in fighting for the victims affected by the CervicalCheck scandal. She herself was told in 2011 that her smear test was clear of abnormalities only to be later diagnosed with terminal cancer and eventually settled a High Court action for €2.5m.
In a statement her family said that &#8220;funeral arrangements when made will be private, with an opportunity for people to pay their respects in due course&#8221;.
&#8220;She was the heart &amp; soul of our family unit &amp; her passing will leave a void in all our lives, that at this point seems impossible to fill. We cherish the memories of a loving wife, mother, daughter &amp; sister, who&#8217;s ability to deal with the struggles of life has inspired not only ourselves, but an entire nation. The outpouring of grief &amp; good wishes from far &amp; wide are truly appreciated,&#8221; Jim, Amelia &amp; Darragh Phelan.
