Tributes paid to young Kilkenny woman who died from Cervical Cancer over the weekend

Tributes are being paid to a young Kilkenny woman who lost her battle with cervical cancer over the weekend.

Friends of Alice Taylor had been campaigning for months for her to get access to the drug Pembro.

It was announced by the Health Minister last week that all women suffering from cervical cancer would get the drug, however it didn't come in time for Alice.

The 26-year-old passed away in St Vincent's Hospital in Dublin on Friday.
