I will have to stop Mr. Breslin because I am getting very angry. He knows the question I am putting to him and I am not going to listen to waffle from any Accounting Officer, given how angry committee members and I feel. We are not talking about trawls of emails and what was sitting on people's desks; we are talking about information of which the Chief Medical Officer had sight and had knowledge. We are referring to the March memo, the two July memos and the fact that he sat in at high level meetings between the Department, CervicalCheck and the HSE with full knowledge of the strategy to reduce the volume of women to whom information would be given on the outcomes for them. Mr. Breslin is talking nonsense. When the Chief Medical Officer and others in the Department knew that information, why was it not given to Mr. Breslin or the Minister?
