Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I cannot get into an exchange about press statements on the floor of the Dáil. These are individual women's smear tests and individual women have a right to know what is in them. In the last number of days since this came to light I have spent time making sure that individual women know, as they should have known. It is worrying that the paternalistic culture suggested that they were not told even when it was communicated to their treating clinician. I do not have them, nor should I, as they are individual women's smear tests.

I will come back in. I will not use the Deputy's time.
