Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Okay, it is a number of cases. There may be reasons, legal or otherwise, as to why the delays have happened. We need to understand the detail of those cases and what the blockage is so we can act to remove the blockage as quickly as possible. The only motivation of the Government, the Minister, the HSE and all involved in the lessons learned from the CervicalCheck issue is to try to treat women and their families with the respect they deserve. We are trying to ensure we can give them full access to information as quickly as possible.

We also have to protect the integrity of the process. We cannot ignore the legal advice on this but I assure the Deputy that the priority is to try to give people the respect they deserve and the access to the information that is their right as quickly as possible.
