David Cullinane: It was not a plan to inform all women. It was a plan not to inform all women. Bear with me. It was a plan to inform some women, where we give consultants discretion. We know then from the meeting, about which we talked earlier, in September 2017 that clinicians had a concern that they were being asked to do it. We know only one in four women was told. We then know that of those women...

David Cullinane: I did not say that, so please do not put words in my mouth. I said the plan was not to inform all women. There was a plan put in place to inform some women. Listen to what I am saying. What I said earlier was that the strategy was to reduce the volume of women who would know. It is very clear when the plan said to decide on the order and volume of dispatch to mitigate any potential...

David Cullinane: I am very disappointed with Mr. Breslin's response but I will put questions now to Dr. Holohan. I said earlier that I was very angry with him and I am. Last week when I put very specific questions to Mr. Breslin about the knowledge of the memos to the Department, Dr. Holohan tried in a brazen way to try to help us understand-----

David Cullinane: With respect to the Cathaoirleach, I have respect for everybody here but I believe the witnesses performance last week and the fact that they did not give us that information was absolutely unacceptable. I ask Dr. Holohan why he did not volunteer that information to us last week.

David Cullinane: It was not just the March memo. I was two memos in July. There were a lot of meetings which Dr. Holohan attended and it is not good enough for him to say he had a memory blank because it was two years ago.

David Cullinane: It is inconceivable that he would not have known about all the memos and meetings. I ask Dr. Holohan a direct question. How many women were directly contacted by CervicalCheck on their misdiagnoses?

David Cullinane: Yes, and that is why I am trying to be respectful. I am asking very direct questions. I did not ask about the number of clinicians or consultants because we know they were given discretion. I am asking how many patients were informed directly by CervicalCheck about their smear results.
