<\/p>\nIt’s been exactly one year since Cervical Check campaigner and social media star Lynsey Bennett sadly passed away.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old died at her home in Co. Longford on October 27th, 2022, and is survived by her beloved daughters Zoe and Hailee.<\/p>\n
In a statement announced her death, Lynsey’s solicitor Gillian O\u2019Mahony said: \u201cIt is with great sadness that the family of Lynsey Bennett wish to announce that Lynsey passed away peacefully last night.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cLynsey was a very special person. Lynsey\u2019s beautiful girls, father, sisters, family and friends are heartbroken at the passing of Lynsey at the young age of 34 years and would appeal for privacy at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lynsey, who had over 64k followers on Instagram, had been battling cervical cancer since 2017.<\/p>\n
The mother-of-two was one of many women affected by the Cervical Check scandal, as she was diagnosed in January 2017 following a series of smears which failed to detect cervical cancer.<\/p>\n
In February 2021, the mother-of-two settled her High Court case against the HSE and the laboratory involved in her missed cancer diagnosis for an undisclosed sum.<\/p>\n
\nDevastated to hear that Lynsey Bennett (34) has passed away. She, like so many other brave women, brought the horror of the CervicalCheck scandal home to us all.
\nIn the end, all she cared about was securing her daughters\u2019 future. She should have been able to watch them grow \ud83d\udc94 pic.twitter.com\/yZON4aD9Oc<\/a><\/p>\n\u2014 Frank Greaney (@FrankGreaney) October 28, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
