Ms Walsh has been very clear. This is not my committee, but she does not have to be afraid in here, as the Chairman said when he read out the note on privilege at the beginning of the meeting.

A lot of questions I was going to put forward have been dealt with so I will drift into a little more detail. I have two questions for Mr. Teap. First, we know of the story of Bernadette Kiely, and I say her name purely because it has been spoken publicly in the Dáil. Ms Walsh might wish to come in on this. Does that case raise additional concerns and issues for the witnesses?

Second, in any of the witnesses' analysis have they looked at comparative, cross-jurisdiction changes as a result of screening and, for instance, mortality rates? Are there any lessons to be learned in this regard or anything that would not necessarily jump out to the committee or the public but that we should be aware of?
