No. What jumps out of the documents is the strategy to contain. Anyway, I am leaving it.

I would say to Dr. O'Keeffe that I think the language was wrong. I think it was totally unacceptable. When a new person joined the HSE, the organisation should have reviewed the matter. In my opinion, the action was not good governance.

I have a few questions for Mr. Breen about the State Claims Agency. I have attempted to find out how many cases are pending, in whatever form, such as a warning letter or proceedings settled. How many cases are there in terms of the cervical smear programme?
