- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Pearse Doherty: Let me read a sentence from Mr. John Gleeson. He stated: "The plaintiff's legal team was asked if it would drop the case and make it just against the co-defendant, and they said "No"." Is that an accurate statement?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Pearse Doherty: Let me go on a little bit further. He stated:The legal team said it had an issue around the delay in informing the affected woman. That element of the case was struck out; it was not that we did not tell the patient, it was noted that the information was late and took a long time. That was the basis. After that, any engagement largely centred on legal teams and we were asked if a settlement...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: State Claims Agency: Discussion (8 May 2018)
Pearse Doherty: Mr. Breen should at least spell it out as he is spelling it out. He is applying a strictly legal interpretation. Yet, he came before the committee and said he would deal with the matter in a humane, ethical, professional and sensitive manner. I maintain there is nothing ethical, humane or sensitive in the way the State Claims Agency is approaching this issue.
