Alan Kelly: It is obvious that the clinical lead in the hospital decided to send this on for clarity, given what has transpired here. That person wanted this to be made clear. I believe he or she did the right thing.

Alan Kelly: That saved me some time, I was going to put the same question. Mr. Connaghan saw what transpired there. If that has not told him a lot, I do not know what will. The difference between Mr. Gleeson and Dr. O'Keeffe is that Mr. Gleeson said "sorry". He apologised. I hate to say this to Dr. O'Keeffe but I do not believe that anyone watching this would have confidence that she did her job...

Alan Kelly: I am sorry, I have addressed Dr. O'Keeffe as Ms O'Keeffe. I want to ask who let her down?

Alan Kelly: Okay. This is what happens. We have seen this before. Spread the blame around and then there is no culpability and there are no issues. I think we all know what we are talking about here. There was a seismic or catastrophic failure across the board. From all the documentation, we can see that the manner in which this was dealt with, not just from a management point of view but from a...

Alan Kelly: I know, but it would be interesting to find out, seeing as that was a policy that was there. I will just leave that there for others to probe.

Alan Kelly: Obviously, they felt the need to provide this documentation, given the information we had earlier on relating to what happened. Mr. Woods has gone and Mr. Lynch is not here, even though he was party to it. The documentation does what it says on the tin. If one correlates the documentation with the report of the colposcopists' meeting, one sees that all they achieved in six months was to...
