Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

I indicated that this legislation would be available next year and public consultation is taking place at the moment. What is happening on the other side of the House is completely and utterly inappropriate. As a man who is a general practitioner and whose ideology is to ensure the safety of patients, Deputy Reilly could not but fully agree that in terms of accuracy in cytology, we have the best facilities available to the women of Ireland. The Deputy knows well that we have issues of clinical governance to deal with.
