Kate O'Connell: Mr. O'Brien referred to the memo as "reassuring" and said the figure of 209, out of 1,400 plus, would not alert. What is that based on? Is it based on clinical knowledge? Without knowing what the actual rate should be, how can he read a memo in his position and make that assumption? In the data reconciliation process, the two-way data does not seem to have been transferred from the...

Kate O'Connell: I thank all three witnesses for coming in today. Everybody in Ireland owes thanks to Vicky, Stephen and anyone else who has come out on this issue and explained to us, from where we are, how it has affected them, their families and all those around them. I want to home in on one particular aspect, which I believe Vicky said. It is the idea that it would not have made any difference. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Kate O'Connell: I wish Mr. Connaghan the best of luck in performing his role. Many members of the committee were members of the Oireachtas Committee on the Future of Healthcare.

Durkan is very excited about geo-alignment. I genuinely...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Kate O'Connell: If she is to blame in the sense that her head has rolled, which I mean in the nicest possible way, surely there is a deficit now that she is gone, in the sense that she did a lot of work on the HPV vaccine. To my mind, she can be given credit for being involved in the reversal of the downward trend in the HPV vaccine. Just because her head has rolled in this instance is not to say that she...
