Alan Kelly: I was the person who asked National Cancer Registry Ireland to come here. I have three more questions. I cannot understand what is going on between CervicalCheck and the National Cancer Registry. The Minister was let down badly in the way he had to be provided with the information. I refer to the facts that there was a lack of knowledge of this in the Department and that it was told...

Alan Kelly: Ultimately, data protection issues were the reason. This is a big concern. This is important. Data protection issues are the reason we have two different databases. We know from Dr. Hickey's correspondence that there are issues with the internal databases within CervicalCheck. The two sets of databases could not talk because of data protection. Is that an appropriate summary?
