Disappointment over more adversarial process amid cautious welcome for cancer scandal tribunal

A support group for women affected by the CervicalCheck controversy has expressed disappointment that a scheme to address their claims is not the “totally non-adversarial process” promised by the Taoiseach.

The group 221+ said it welcomes “with some caution” a report by Mr Justice Charles Meenan recommending the establishment of a statutory tribunal but is “understandably disappointed” that it will not be quite what Leo Varadkar had committed to.
