David Cullinane: My question, while I will not give my personal opinion because I can give that outside this chamber, is if Mr. Gleeson believes his position is tenable as programme manager for CervicalCheck. It is either a yes or a no. He either believes his position is tenable or not. Does he believe his position is tenable?

- Public Accounts Committee: Implications of CervicalCheck Revelations (Resumed) (14 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: I will be as brief as everybody else if that is of any help. The HSE obtained data from the laboratories for 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016. Data have been requested for the years going back to 2008, yet that has not been published.

- Public Accounts Committee: Engagement with Nursing Homes Ireland (14 Jun 2018)

- Public Accounts Committee: Engagement with Nursing Homes Ireland (14 Jun 2018)
