- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Scoping Inquiry into the CervicalCheck Screening Programme: Discussion (10 Oct 2018)
Michael Harty: I am sorry for jumping in ahead of Dr. Scally. The first question was about screening programmes in general which inherently have the reporting of false negatives built into them.

- Financial Resolutions 2019 - Budget Statement 2019 (9 Oct 2018)
Michael Harty: There is no reference in the budget speech to bed capacity, specifically to the delivery of 2,600 beds and in that the delivery of intensive care unit, ICU, beds.
