Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

I was delighted to hear the Minister begin her contribution by remembering the women who received the misdiagnosis from Portlaoise hospital. I heard her speak on "Prime Time" that week and was touched by the way she handled the matter and the concern she expressed. She said it was every woman's nightmare to be faced with what those six or seven women were facing. That is the case. It must have been a terrible shock. The Minister also said that night that what was most important now was that they would get the appropriate treatment and counselling.
