Letters to the Editor: Women failed by Cervical Check do understand what happened

A reader responds to Tony Holohan's remarks on 'The Meaning of Life', while others examine issues including elder abuse, the attacks on Israel and Gaza, and Catholic Church reform

Gabriel Scally published his review of the scoping inquiry into CervicalCheck in November, 2022. Jessica Ní Mhaoláin writes that Tony Holohan should be challenged with the facts as outlined in Dr Scally’s report. File picture: Brian Lawless/PA

During his recent appearance on RTÉ’s The Meaning of Life (October 15) former chief medical officer Tony Holohan made the following statement: “The reality is there is a very poor understanding of what happened in CervicalCheck, even now.”

I appreciate and respect Dr Holohan’s right to hold his own opinion on the matter. However I cannot allow his narrative to go unchallenged, having been failed by the CervicalCheck progamme myself.
