Alan Kelly: I know, and I am genuinely not having a go at Dr. Henry but this had been moved across to the directorate. They were well aware of it. Surely somebody somewhere should have followed up on this.

Alan Kelly: As I understand it, nothing happened at acute hospital level for 15 months. Dr. Hickey then elevated it within the hospital. They had not any idea about this because as we now know from Dr. O'Keeffe, they were not copied on the 16 June documentation. To be fair, they did not know about it, which is amazing. The seven group hospital managers in the country were not made aware of it. Does...

Alan Kelly: Yes, we have that. It is a famous letter at this stage. I wish Mr. Woods was present because I do not understand why there was no follow-up at the acute level. I am saying that to Mr. Connaghan directly. Sorry - I meant Dr. McKenna.

Alan Kelly: There was an October version of it as well, but it was not minuted. Can someone follow up on that, please? How in the name of God could there have been a meeting that was not minuted? It sounds suspicious to me. I am not getting at Dr. McKenna, but he understood that the programme and the colposcopists were having a meeting.

Alan Kelly: When the programme told Dr. McKenna that there would be a meeting to sort it out, he believed it would be. Since he thought it had been sorted, he did not feel that there was a need to follow it up.

Alan Kelly: I find it bizarre. The minutes of this meeting are important, yet so many people did not even bother to partake that there were no minutes of the next meeting. The first meeting called was the September meeting. People came together because of this issue - let us call a spade a spade - but there are still no minutes of the follow-up meeting because it is obviously such a damning issue. I...

Alan Kelly: I hope Mr. Connaghan has taken away a lot more than what he just said. I would be absolutely devastated for the people I represent, for Vicky Phelan and Stephen Teap, if Mr. Connaghan only took away from this meeting what he just said.
