Vicky Phelan has shared an update from her "fantastic" Christmas trip in Co Clare.
The CervicalCheck campaigner was joined by her brother and his fianée in Doonbeg, enjoying a meal at the Armada Hotel at Spanish Point.
The brave mum-of-two also posted some snaps from a walk on her "favourite" Doughmore Beach - and shared a touching New Year's message.
She wrote on Facebook on Friday: "Just home after a FANTASTIC few days down in our holiday home in Doonbeg where we had a small number of very important visitors - my brother @robbiekelly007 and his fiancée, @fionav1 landed home from New Zealand after 3 years much to everyone's delight. Of course I have no photos of Robbie and Fiona and myself.
"We had a FABULOUS meal at the @armadaspanishpoint which was very generously covered by the owner @johnjohnburke THANK YOU John and Tony and all the staff at the Armada Hotel, a regular haunt when I am down in West Clare.
"My parents came up then for a few nights and we ended our break away in West Clare with a long walk on my favourite beach, Doughmore Bay.
"Settling in now for the night that's in it, New Year's Eve, with three of my favourite humans - my two children and Jim.
"Like everyone, I am looking forward to a better year in 2022 for ALL of us, a year where we will hopefully get a handle on Covid and get back to living...really living our lives.
"Happy New Year to you all."
