THE family of Kerry woman Joan Lucey has settled a High Court action over her cervical smear slides.
The court was told on Thursday the action which had been continued by her son and daughter when Mrs Lucey died last week has been resolved.
The retired nurse and widow died last Friday just hours after the HSE and the laboratories pledged to begin mediation towards resolving the case and after her lawyers had gone to court twice pleading for mediation to begin as Mrs Lucey was on her deathbed.
Mediation had continued after her death but the court was previously told it had been unsuccessful after ending at 10pm last Tuesday night.
The children of retired nurse Joan Lucey, who passed away while suing the HSE and two laboratories over the reading of her cervical smears, are expected to take over the case following her death.
