This is horrific @DonnellyStephen @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD these children’s care needs to be prioritised- no child should be left struggling to breathe in our country - the system needs to be the patient first @scolionetwork

I have today read the chapter in @DrTonyHolohan book on #cervicalcheck . His last words are about “public trust” & protecting & maintaining that. Just some observations in my opinion, if the @HSELive carried out retrospective audits it was their responsibility to inform all

Received reply today “Regrettably Mr Watt is not in a position to meet with you” and I’ve been referred back to the officials who didn’t minute the meeting and refuse to investigate so they can “assist you with your queries” I have no words #HowIrelandWorks #cervicalcheck

Today I have escalated my case & asked Robert Watt Secretary General @roinnslainte to meet me no one will ever know the level of disrespect I have been shown since speaking up about #cervicalcheck delays and how serious issues have been simply ignored and refusal to investigate

4,088 women affected by delays up to 8 months were followed up after I received email from @roinnslainte the day the final report was published by @GabrielScally - they then advised small number of women receiving “continuous care” by the lead clinician - what does this mean ?

Seems to a regular occurrence with government bodies I was told no minutes taken at @roinnslainte meeting with @DonnellyStephen regarding incorrect information on knowledge of delays in #cervicalcheck report - told weeks later it was just a “listening exercise”

Forgot to take minutes over a dozen times with a big property developer, forgot who put up his posters, forgot to declare donations, forgot he was a director of a company run by Varadkar’s former advisor… & that’s just the stuff we know. He should resign.

For most people who have been done wrong, the important thing is acknowledgement … our government fights the very people affected, they need to put things right so people can move on with respect & care #MotherAndBabyHomes #cervicalcheck #nursinghomes #abuse #scandals

In light of all the recent revelations at @roinnslainte I’m still waiting the final report on the McCraith report on #cervicalcheck despite being repeatedly told it was aligned with the @GabrielScally report, I was then told it wasn’t and would be published in the New Year it’s

Long Thread #CervicalCheck - for months I have asked @roinnslainte about how the MacCraith report was aligned to the final Scally Report - assured in March 2021 by @DonnellyStephen it was completely aligned and another email from @roinnslainte on day of publication of final

It's long past time somebody in the Dáil asked #LeoVaradkar whether, as incoming Taoiseach, he considers himself bound by the Official Secrets Act. If he does not, the Dáil should reject his nomination for the post. Because the answer is yes, he is bound

@FineGael @LeoVaradkar This should never have happened he admitted sharing a confidential document with a friend and then investigation by DPP a joke & vote by SIPO a disgrace …. All this tells him is carry on doing whatever you like and no consequences #Taoiseach

It’s almost a year since I told my story in the MacCraith report and one of the main recommendations was to put Women First - I call on @SimonHarrisTD @paulreiddublin @LeoVaradkar to announce when Cervical Check & all cancer screenings will return - this needs to happen now

Waited 4 years to speak to @MichealMartinTD & he told me he didn’t know how to “unravel” this - told him it was simple, I told the truth so he passed me back to @roinnslainte @DonnellyStephen who didn’t minute the 40 minute meeting when we discussed the untruths #cervicalcheck

What the hell were you thinking @Independent_ie ? To put his name in the same sentence as @PhelanVicky is a gross insult & one which merits an editorial apology, something incidentally which Dr Holohan has yet to give the victims of the #cervicalcheck scandal.
