That is fair enough yes. Can one of the witnesses give me an answer as to what exactly the accuracy rates are? Is there a difference between whether or not it is tested in Ireland or America? Is there a difference between who takes it? Is there standard advice that is given to people? Is there any kind of standardised process at all?

Dr. McKenna said what he would say to women, but clearly he does not see all women. That is what he would say, and something different is said to someone else. I will repeat what I said. If the witnesses came in here to do a damage limitation exercise I strongly suggest they put down the shovel and start answering some questions because this is not acceptable.
