The Government has ruled out a redress scheme for women injured after vaginal mesh implants despite such surgeries being stopped and a year passing since a report into cases. 

Women have been left in limbo over the horrific impact of the implants on their bodies. Fianna Fáil now wants a full review of cases and any State care involved.

We discussed this previously on this show  and in the wake of this decision against a redress scheme I wanted to invite my guests back onto the show. 

Ivan spoke to Melanie Power of Power Solicitors, medical negligence specialist in Limerick, Louise O’Reilly, Sinn Fein Spokesperson on Health and TD for Dublin Fingal and Lesley-Anne Stephens who had the mesh procedure.
