I thank Ms Forbes and the staff from RTÉ, the officials from the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment and the Comptroller and Auditor General. A piece of history was created today which marked their first appearance which I think went well. The meeting has been informative which is important and one of the reasons we are here.

Our next meeting is next Thursday at 10 a.m. We have changed our schedule for the public session. The purpose of the meeting will be to discuss the CervicalCheck scandal and the screening programme run by the HSE at a cost of €60 million. It also includes BreastCheck and BowelScreen. We have been in touch with the HSE to discuss its policy on open disclosure and legal costs and the State Claims Agencies to discuss its policy on open disclosure and the management of claims. We have to confirm who precisely will be here next Thursday. We will work on that matter tomorrow, but both organisations will be represented. We will try to reschedule the meeting that was planned with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. We have a commitment that both organisations will be represented next Thursday.
