“I think in the history of this country, I think her actions, particularly in terms of not signing a confidentiality agreement at that particular time and her statement, and on the steps of the High Court will live long in the memory as an example of someone who stood up against the system and the normal conventions of actions and so on to say ‘no, I’m not signing that, I want this revealed in the public interest”, Taoiseach added.

Taking to social media, she wrote: “So, I have been holding off on sharing the news that my cancer is growing back (slowly, thankfully). I needed the time to absorb this news and for my family and friends to absorb it too.

In addition to growth in three tumors, I have developed a new (tiny – 3mm) tumor in my lung.
