Kate O'Connell: I wish to return to a separate issue, and I am not sure if anybody who is here can answer my query. We received a document concerning June 2016. I was looking at it last night. It addresses the total number of cases. We are talking about the first group of 1,500 women. Let us call them group A. These are the women connected to CervicalCheck. When the health service looked back, the...

Kate O'Connell: Can the witnesses just confirm that the audit process always involves looking at a smear? I am genuinely not 100% clear on this.

Kate O'Connell: I am sorry for holding the document up. After the 653 cases emerged, all of the slides were looked at again for that group of people?

Kate O'Connell: Is there any proposal for random auditing of the samples? I am sorry if someone else asked this today. Mr. Stephen Teap mentioned the idea yesterday. I am not saying that we have to do everything that everybody asks, but it seems like a rational and reasonable request. Do we know if that is in train or happening?

Kate O'Connell: Just in case I missed it earlier, following Deputy Catherine Murphy's question I wish to ask about the breakdown of the classification of the cancers of the 209 people involved. Will that assessment be done too? If it had been caught three years earlier, the prognosis would have been X, Y or Z. Is that the sort of thing we are looking at?

Kate O'Connell: I hope it does not come in the post, and I am not being smart. I am genuinely not being smart here. If a woman was diagnosed three years later than she potentially could have been, and if her prognosis now is terminal rather than a condition treatable through hysterectomy or whatever, that is going to be extremely difficult. As bad as things were for someone in that situation yesterday,...

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...
