- Topical Issue Debate: Flood Relief Schemes Funding (4 Feb 2014)
Ciarán Lynch: We are talking about a process of accreditation that exists in other jurisdictions, with which insurance companies operating in Ireland, such as Zurich, and others in Germany comply.

The Minister of State will say that many pharmacists can deal with the prescriptions. I propose that the...
