Mr. Finian Judge:

On the EU issue, Mr. Hennessy is correct. We are a new member of the BeNeLuxA collaboration, and all members recognise that, if we are to progress down the road to joint negotiations, we will have to align our domestic legislative processes with the new structure. Our current process is enshrined in the 2013 Act.

Deputy Durkan asked about taking the collective route. There are 500 million people in Europe. As Mr. Flanagan has outlined, drug companies insist on negotiating with individual countries.
