Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We know there are parallel discussions going on in the House, as they should. We cannot come back seeking to instruct Dr. Scally in a different way every week. The Deputy asked if there are cases other than the 209 we know of. I do not have that information available to me. Part of the response was to examine cases that did not come to the attention of CervicalCheck and have an audit.

There were, as I recollect, 3,000 such cases. A process was being put in place to identify whether there were additional cases that would have emerged from those. I am sure that process is ongoing and that the Deputy can get information in the usual way from the responsible Minister to find out how that approach is developing.
