Joan Lucey died last Friday, just hours after the HSE and the laboratories agreed to begin mediation.
The family of a woman who died last week from cervical cancer has settled a High Court action.
It is understood the settlement was made without admission of liability. Mr Justice Kevin Cross was told on Thursday the action has been resolved.
Joan Lucey, a retired nurse and widow from Dingle, died last Friday just hours after the HSE and the laboratories agreed to begin mediation towards resolving the case.
