I wish to put onto the record of the House how much I admire Vicky Phelan. She is a strong woman and a very courageous woman. I send her my sincere best wishes.

I am a member of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health. At 2.30 p.m. tomorrow we will go through this issue in full detail. As the only female Oireachtas Member in County Cork and Cork city, I feel compelled to let the Government know how hurt and worried are the women of Cork and Ireland. What does the Government intend to do to instill confidence in the screening services and in the health services in general?
