The funeral will take place today for a midlands cervical check campaigner.

Longford's Lynsey Bennett passed away last Thursday after being diagnosed with the disease in 2017. 

Her diagnosis came following the alleged misinterpretation of smear slides, and led to her taking a case against the HSE and a lab in the US, and settling for an undisclosed sum.

The funeral service will take place in St.John’s Church, Battery Road, Longford at 12.00 noon today with burial afterwards in the adjoining churchyard.

The 34-year-old is survived by her daughters Zoë and Hailee, father Coote, sisters Averyl and Kelley, brother-in-law Craig, nieces Bella and Fiadh, uncle Cecil and his wife Irene, aunts, uncles, cousins Rachael, Jessica and Joe, relatives and a wide circle of friends.

The family have requested family flowers only donations, if desired, to Longford Hospice and LARCC.
