CERVICAL Check campaigner and Freewoman of Limerick Vicky Phelan revealed she spent an ‘amazing’ bank holiday weekend in West Clare, which was particularly important as it marked her “last time” to spend time with her brother before he returns to New Zealand.
Also joining her were her brother’s fiancée Fiona and her husband Jim and two children.
Vicky wrote on her Instagram account on Monday: “It was an amazing weekend. I have banked more wonderful memories, which is so important because it was my last time spending time with my brother Robbie before he heads back ‘home’ to New Zealand next week.
“We spent the weekend at my holiday home in County Clare and did what everyone does on holidays – read books and eat out.
“In between meals, the boys played some golf while the girls sat outside on my new garden furniture reading or chatting (aka bitching). We walked Doughmore beach and Darragh and Robbie found loads of golf balls and we even got in a sea swim yesterday at Spanish Point (well obviously not me but everyone else but me…and Fiona) The weather was simply glorious yesterday.”
Ms Phelan, who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, is undergoing palliative cancer care after making the decision in October 2021 to end her chemotherapy treatment to focus on quality time with her family.
