Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I heartily concur with Senator O'Donovan's remarks. It was shocking journalism, as everyone in the House will agree. I agree with Senator Fitzgerald's remarks, and those of other colleagues, on the health services. I, too, attended that meeting this morning. Given the success of our country, I cannot understand why we use mammography machines that are 15 years old or more, ten years past their expiry date. This is crazy. The machines can give false positives or negatives. We know about the resulting tragedy and how it has damaged women's lives. I cannot fathom it.
