A woman with terminal cervical cancer has settled her court case over the alleged misreading of a smear test for 2.5 million euro.
The mother of two, who is in her 40s, had sued over the test that was taken in 2010 under the CervicalCheck programme.
The settlement has been reached with a Texas lab called Clinical Pathology Laboratories, which admitted a breach of duty in relation to the reading of the smear.
The High Court heard the woman has a life expectancy of 12 to 22 months.
