We all agree on the importance of the CervicalCheck programme and the necessity to have full confidence in it. We need to restore this confidence. Anyone who listened to "Morning Ireland" this morning will not have had confidence in the information that was processed and presented. Will the Tánaiste confirm that the other 14 women identified in 2014 have been informed of their specific circumstances and that communication is open with them? Will he outline what will be done to ensure CervicalCheck realises the seriousness of this matter and what steps the organisation will take to rebuild public trust in this vital screening programme? Will the Minister for Health make himself available in the House next week to answer questions on this matter? Deputies and Senators may learn of concerns over the weekend that will need to be addressed next week as part of the process of beginning to rebuild trust in this vital screening programme? The Oireachtas must also outline its responsibility to Vicky Phelan and her family.
