The former President of Ireland, Mary McAleese, is known for her strong Catholic faith but also for not being frightened to voice her views on the Church. She has just published a new book 鈥淨uo Vadis?鈥澨� in which she criticises the Church for not devolving power as much as it promised to, following the meeting of the bishops and the Pope at Vatican II fifty years ago.听 Mary believes that there should be more openess and discussion within the church to avoid mistakes again like the sexual abuse of young people by clergy, which was hidden away.

New research claims听 that women who have been sexually abused in their youth are less likely to attend cervical cancer screenings. According to the National Health Service Cervical Screening Programme 78.6% of eligible women have had at least one smear test in the last five years. But researchers found only 77.5% of abused women had ever had one with less than half (48.5%) of them having been screened during the last five years.

Fear and anxiety as well as a lack of sensitivity by the healthcare worker administering the smear test were identified in the research - published in the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care.
