Abstract 

Screening for cervical cancer commenced in Ireland on an opportunistic basis in the late 1960s. The Data Protection Act was recently amended to allow access to specific databases for the purpose of setting up an age sex register for breast and cervical cancer screening. A pilot cervical screening programme is planned for women aged 25–60 years living in the Mid Western Area Health Board region.
