It is simply not credible that there is no coincidence. It is no coincidence that people in senior levels of the Department are not aware of things - this is simply my opinion. It is no coincidence that senior members of the communications division within the HSE are not made aware of things. The former director general of the HSE was not made aware of things. There seems to be a level at which people simply decided not to tell anyone above them anything. That goes for the Department, the HSE and CervicalCheck. Can someone explain that? I will allow Mr. Connors finish his response to my question. He said he was not made aware of it but that he wishes he had been. Whose responsibility was it to make Mr. Connors aware of it? Who were the people involved in devising that strategy?
