All right. I apologise. "20 Irish women so far dead due to cervical cancer screening errors"; "...130 sick women battling in court over CervicalCheck scandal"; "Husband’s agony as Cervical Check letter reveals devoted mum could have been saved"; and "I don’t want my children to watch me dying in pain, all I want is a choice". These are some of the headlines that relate to a web search of Ireland's cervical cancer screening programme. This is simply not good enough. The State cannot be said to have taken the rights, well-being or put simply, the lives, of these women seriously.
