We would not have been here discussing that matter had there not been the controversy in advance of it, so it was well known at that point. The Vicky Phelan case had been in the public arena. There had been debates in the Dáil and there were meetings in other committees as well as this one. I say that in regard to timing and what Mr. Breen said at this committee.

I cannot figure out why Mr. Breen would have been so certain that all the women had been informed or would be informed by their clinicians. I cannot figure out why he would give us that information in the context of the meetings that we were having.

It does not make any sense. How can we trust any information we get from the HSE when this circle cannot be squared?
