I have one observation, one comment and a couple of questions. There is much commentary and let us not beat about the bush. People are looking for political accountability and to know if any Ministers were aware of anything. That is blatantly obvious. I would like to move away from that. I address my questions to Dr. Holohan and Mr. Breslin. I ask for clarity which would put this away. Is it possible to send out an email in the Department of Health, by next week, asking anybody with any knowledge in respect of this issue to bring it forward? I also ask that by this day next week that information be provided on all meetings or discussions that anyone is aware of, and are in any way documented, about CervicalCheck since 2011? I refer to the number of meetings that took place on CervicalCheck or the national screening programme internally in the Department.
