CervicalCheck's helpline is up and running
Callers were having difficulty accessing the helpline earlier following a technical glitch.
The helpline was set up in light of over 200 screening errors with the national programme.
Health Minister Simon Harris tweeted to say the glitch "was the last thing anyone needed".
The National Women's Council of Ireland says it's vital that women have confidence in screening programme and it's welcomed the decision to call an independent review.
Director Orla O'Connor says failures have been brought into the spotlight by the efforts of terminally ill Limerick woman, Vicky Phelan and lessons must be learnt.
