and their families direct- ly affected by the recent cervical check scandal. The exhibit was entitled “More than a Number” and displayed artwork in various forms which in- cluded poetry, painting, prose, and parody which showed the country’s con- tempt for the situation which 221 families are currently experiencing, with 3,000 further smear test samples waiting to be re-examined. Carol Murray, a young mother directly affected
by the scandal of errors, gave a speech detailing her
extraordinary jour-
ney through the minefield of missteps and sidesteps of the various medical professionals and systems she
encountered along
the way. Blame has been shifted around from one group to another while mothers, sisters, daugh- ters – families continue to suffer the consequenc- es, or wait anxiously for news. The large turnout at the exhibition admired
the work of artists such as Deirdre
O’Keeffe,
Bridget O’Brien, Gráinne Daly, Karolina Zapal, Therese
Cahill, Sinéad
Ní Chionaola, Elizabeth Stepney-Power, Sinéad Hannon, Eileen McGol- drick, Will McGoldrick, Sarah
Lundy, Martha
Doyle, Jessica Gunn and Sadie de Róiste. Speaking with The
East Cork Journal, Kirsty
Murphy (Event
Organiser) said, “I would like to thank all the art- ists who provided us with
