Alan Kelly: I have three questions, two on CervicalCheck and one on the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund. One is a follow-up to that of Deputy O'Brien, whose questioning was very revealing. Deputy O'Connell and I are on the health committee and the Committee of Public Accounts and we have gone through this intricately for months. I have probably attended eight to ten committee meetings on the...

Alan Kelly: First, could Mr. Breen come back to the committee within a week and break down what they are? Second, could he come back to us and clarify - because Deputy O'Brien's probing is important here - whether any of these involve any of the CervicalCheck laboratories? That is the way in which we will ask for them to be broken down.

Alan Kelly: We will give the agency three weeks if it wants them but I find it offensive and wrong to say it would take three weeks to just go and look at 17 files and say "this is in this category...".

There...

Alan Kelly: We will give the agency three weeks. I do not agree with Mr. Breen but we will give the agency three weeks. Mr. Breen might continue with the answers to my questions.

Alan Kelly: I know Mr. Breen knows where I am going with this. I have been contacted by the solicitor of a family of one of the women who, unfortunately, passed away and who was one of the group of 221 women. I am sorry to have to read this off my phone but I did not get a chance to print it out because I came in here straightaway. They submitted an FOI request to the NTMA, which was really to the...
