- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: I am sure the witnesses are tired but the issue regarding the testing system that emerged earlier is very important. We all know the mistakes were made with disclosure. I believe a very paternalistic attitude towards women pervades the Irish health service, and it is probably reflected in what happened. However, I wish to focus on the testing because my concern is that once one turns the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: Yes, but I cannot judge and this is the only chance I have to ask questions. To be honest, that information should be at the top as the witnesses knew this issue had emerged in the press. The witness made some disparaging remarks about tests being done on the kitchen table. That is at odds with what Dr. Sam Coulter-Smith said. He is not an insignificant person as a former master of the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: To conclude on that, we asked earlier for the results from the private for-profit laboratories to compare them, for example, with the public laboratories. I cannot actually gauge what Mr. O'Brien is saying and whether it is true.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: National Cervical Screening Programme: Department of Health, HSE, CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Control Programme (2 May 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: Does Mr. O'Brien not believe he should have had that information? Dr. Gibbons has been in the news for days, and we raised this in the Dáil last night.

- National Cervical Screening Programme: Statements (1 May 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: We have a very patronising attitude to women in this society, as evidenced by the outrageous treatment of the women involved in this case, a paternalistic attitude among doctors to women, and a refusal to allow full disclosure to patients. I want to speak about an issue which some of the parties in this Dáil do not seem to be interested in, namely, privatisation, which has led to this...

- Leaders' Questions (Resumed) (24 Apr 2018)
Ruth Coppinger: What does it say about this country that women can be accused of being killers and that posters can go up about a licence to kill and of foetuses that are able to speak? The Dáil and the Minister for Health should set the record straight. For example, a foetus at nine weeks is 0.9 of an inch and at 12 weeks is 2.13 of an inch. It says something about the fear of the Irish...
