Brendan O'Connor · “I want to make the women of Ireland safer” - Leona Mackin · 18 Jul 2026 podcast

And I just, yeah, I just fell apart.

I just wanted to get out of the room.

I just wanted to get home to my family.

At that point, I panicked, I think.

And that's when I kind of started, you know, putting it out there.

I hadn't spoke about my story till then.

And I just like put a video on Instagram and I contacted like so many different types of like hospitals all over the world.

Like I was on to America and everything.

Like Thailand, Greece, England, everywhere.

That was initially in my head from the get-go, to be honest with you.

I came out of my hysterectomy and I was sitting at home and I was kind of recovering and I thought, this really doesn't add up.

I'd asked the question so many times, like, how has this happened?

I've had all my smears.

I wasn't really getting any answers.

And then I started reading Vicky's story again and I saw Keanu O'Karen's solicitors and I contacted them and I spoke to Siobhan O'Marian on the phone for about an hour and...

And Siobhan explained to me, this could be a horrible twist of failure, but do you want to go ahead and look into it?

And I said, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

I didn't know anything to do.

I didn't know where to go.

I didn't know who to speak to.
