I wish to again raise the case of Emma Mhic Mhathúna. As we know, cancer has spread to her brain. She, this brave warrior for Ireland and Irish women, is using her compensation money and calling out for cytologists and the use of the laboratories in universities that are quiet over the summer period. In her own words, "there's no point in waiting for CervicalCheck - we need to ... [do this] ourselves." The 3,000 smear slides must be examined and this brave women who is gravely ill has taken it upon herself to do what the HSE should be doing and to do it out of the compensation she received from the HSE and Quest Laboratories.
