There is much concern among the women affected by the CervicalCheck controversy about the delay in the Government actually following through on commitments made several weeks ago concerning putting in place the kinds of services and supports they require, as well as the response to the handling of legal cases.

The other area of promised legislation where there is concern regards the promise to legislate, on an urgent basis, for mandatory open disclosure. Is the Tánaiste in a place to tell us where we are with the promise to bring in that legislation? At what stage is it? When can we expect to see it? The general expectation is that the urgency of the matter would require that it would be in before the summer recess.
