Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate the Deputy's initial remarks and her acknowledgement that we do need a little time, calm and some facts before we make decisions on this matter. It is the intention of the Minister for Health after the hearings this afternoon to call together the health spokespersons for the main parties to discuss with them the appropriate form of inquiry that should take place with reference to CervicalCheck.

On the other concern raised by the Deputy, the information I have is that the independent review panel is investigating the matters mentioned. It has not yet reported.

The Minister for Children and Youth Affairs is the line Minister. I will ask her to make contact with the Deputy and give her any information that she may seek.
