Catherine Murphy: I wish to make a number of points about this. Deputy Shortall has made the point that this is and should be in addition to paid leave.

Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)

Catherine Murphy: It is screaming off the page at me. I wish to make a comment to the acting director general of the Health Service Executive.
