- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Catherine Connolly: Mr. Connaghan read all the documents I have before me. Yet he still thought it was okay to call a meeting and get those involved to sort out their recollections, having read these memorandums. Is that accurate?
- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)

Catherine Connolly: No. What jumps out of the documents is the strategy to contain. Anyway, I am leaving it. I would say to Dr. O'Keeffe that I think the language was wrong.

I have a few questions for Mr. Breen about the State Claims...

- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
Catherine Connolly: Yes. I wish to raise two issues and one is for Mr. Connaghan. There is one case that brought all of this matter to our attention yet there was no escalation in procedures by the State Claims Agency, in terms of this area. Is that right? Mr. Breen has said so on more than one occasion here.
