What an amazing woman Lynsey Bennett is. Delighted she finally got the news today about an opportunity to use Pembro. It should not have taken this long. The state has failed the women & families of the #CervicalCheckScandal & they continue to do so! #LateLateShow pic.twitter.com/ycrmsSsmGH

It says a lot about Lynsey Bennett’s decency that she would think of the survivors of mother and baby homes when she is going through absolute hell herself. What an incredible young woman. What an awful country that we couldn’t even say sorry to her. #LateLateShow #latelate

Lynsey Bennett - a catalogue of errors where her instincts were right but she was repeatedly not listened to.

“This time Mammy might be an angel”. Is there anything more heartbreaking to have to tell your children?#LateLateShow

She knew... and no one believed her - heartbreaking to listen to #LynseyBennett @RTELateLateShow the subterfuge about her diagnosis and then dragging her through the courts when she’s been faced with the worst possible prognosis - it’s inhuman - a double injustice #LateLateShow pic.twitter.com/rJEV1z9XSs

The most important things are accomplished by people who keep on trying when there seems to be no hope. Lynsey Bennett @littlemiss2018 made broken look beautiful this week. One day people will say, because of her, they didn’t give up #LateLateShow

Absolutely in awe of Lynsey Bennett and Vicky Phelan. I have no idea how they carry themselves with such grace and dignity in the face of everything this country and successive governments have thrown at them, and so many other women ❤️ #mnawesome

Lynsey Bennett’s story needs to be heard so badly - so tragic, heartbreaking and deeply, deeply frustrating.

What an incredibly strong woman, I’ll never forget how our health system and government have failed so many women like Lynsey Bennett. Absolutely unforgivable #LateLateShow

Absolutely bawling listening to @littlemiss2018 on the #LateLateShow. Her positivity, drive and dignity are so inspiring in the face of such a shitty situation. No woman should ever have to face this. #lynseybennett

How many more people like Lynsey Bennett, Vicky Phelan, Ruth Morrisey will have to go through the courts while dealing with this wicked illness, and still without an apology or admission of liability.. heartbreaking and inhumane... they are real heroes in this country!

Lynsey Bennett, you are such a strong, courageous and dignified woman #LateLateShow

— Deniese O'Flaherty (@deniese_o) February 5, 2021

What a brave woman Lynsey Bennett is. Living every person and parents worst nightmare but still doing everything for her kids. Incredible person. An apology won't make her better but the lack of apology shows what type of people are running this country #LateLateShow
