David Cullinane: Because of the time limit, I will be very direct and expect direct responses. The difficulty with some of what Dr. O'Keeffe said earlier is that it chimes with what is in the draft press statement we received today. Essentially, it is part of a communications strategy to divert attention away from the real problem. All we hear from her and others in that regard is that screening is not...

David Cullinane: Why did Dr. O'Keeffe consider it to be important enough to brief and inform the director general?

David Cullinane: It was important enough to go to the director general's office. That was the judgment call Dr. O'Keeffe made.

David Cullinane: The same information was given to the Department. There was a Tracey Conroy. Is she in the room? Is she still within the organisation? She was one of two individuals given copies of the email. Dr. Holohan was one of the two individuals in the Department who received the same information, but, unlike Dr. O'Keeffe, he did not give it to his line manager, Mr. Breslin. Did Dr. Holohan not...

David Cullinane: Was that a failing on Dr. Holohan's part?

David Cullinane: It is more than my judgment. I am not the only person who would say it. We had one of the Ministers responding to questions yesterday put during Leaders' Questions and saying Ministers had been kept in the dark, that if they had had information, they could have taken different decisions. There was a block in the Department of Health and the information was not relayed. Dr. Holohan took it...

David Cullinane: He is talking about one memo. In order that we are fair, we are talking about three memos and seven meetings at which this issue was discussed. We know all of the information on informing women and the communications strategy. This is the entire package, of which Dr. Holohan was aware and at no point, not in one memo but in the entire history, did he ever give the information to Mr....

David Cullinane: Dr. Holohan has a lot to say, but, unfortunately, in my view, he did not say the right thing or do the right thing at the time. That is my judgment and view. He gave his view.

David Cullinane: I made it very clear to you and Dr. Holohan that that was my opinion. I am trying to separate emotion from my role, which is to put questions. That is what I have done and will continue to do. I remind Dr. Holohan that on 29 June in a Q & A document which the Chairman will also have seen, it is stated that in 317 cases flagged for review there might have been an opportunity for...
