I welcome the witnesses. It is not easy to come before an Oireachtas committee to address such a sensitive issue. I commend them on speaking out, agitating and campaigning for themselves and their members. Ms Bolger read the opening statement, but I have a number of questions for Ms Martin because I want to tease out some recommendations or requests contained in the statement. I will come to Ms McLaughlin in a few minutes too. The HSE will come in later, and we want to ask it some questions. Is there no automatic right to a medical card for mesh survivors? Are the witnesses seeking that?
