Seán Fleming: Yes, over the lunch break. We need to see that. We have all this talk, and when we want to pursue a question, we need this information. I mentioned that this is the seventh Oireachtas meeting and we need to be getting some answers to the specifics before we move on. It is understandable that people are seriously concerned. I did not get to follow all the deliberations of the other...

Seán Fleming: It was in the memo Dr. Coffey wrote to the Minister on 16 April, just a few weeks ago. Is it possible to bring that up on the screen? Some of the content is blacked out. Essentially Dr. Coffey is saying on 16 April 2018 that this would not fit in with the definition of a patient safety incident.

The memo states that the National Cancer Screening Service and Dr. Jerome Coffey, head of the...

Seán Fleming: The director of the national cancer control programme was not categorising this as a patient safety incident in his memo to the Minister on 16 April. Mr. Breslin is now saying that because of the public controversy and thanks to Vicky Phelan and others, the issue is going to be escalated not just to a patient safety issue but a serious patient safety issue that will require mandatory...

Seán Fleming: We understand that, but the witnesses can understand the point we are making as well. The following speakers have indicated: Deputies Cullinane, Kelly, Catherine Murphy, MacSharry and Jonathan O'Brien. We will take some other names. I am starting with slots of 20, 15 and 10 minutes. People will get a second and third opportunity but I am not letting people go on for 20 or 30 minutes....

Seán Fleming: I am cutting in here. I said at the beginning that we had a good, respectful meeting yesterday and I want the same level of respect to be shown to the people here today. Before Deputy Cullinane spoke, I said that we wanted candour from the witnesses but that they would be treated with respect. The Deputy can have strong views but I will make sure this meeting is conducted with respect to...
