    @Christine Paulette Roche: And it doesn’t even sound reversible. You hear of people having the coil taken out when it has side-effects, but these poor women are stuck with a mesh and it’s not even tracked nationally so there’s no feedback on how much it helps or worsens their lives.

    Let me guess – no compensation will be paid by the company, the bill will be dumped on the tax payers. Just like the Hep C infected blood products from US companies who sourced some of their blood from prisoners. Fine Gael have absolutely no problem with any lobby group looking for money/ compensation/ redress. Just dump the bill on you the tax payers. Absolutely anything to harvest lobby group votes. After all we are an incredibly wealthy country – only €220 billion in public debt and God knows how much in private debt.

    Simon Harris doesn’t have a clue on medical procedures so he’s following the long tradition in Irish politics that we need a report on the issue of causing harm to women through mesh implants. Leo the Varadkar as a doctor should know about this. Hello lads this is Joe public saying stop using this procedure. My advice costs nothing.
