Bearing in mind the mass actions, particularly regarding thalidomide, Pandemrix and the vaccine that came out, who is responsible for the learnings from such historic events? I was trying to look up these events but I could not. The thalidomide issue arose around 1958. I had not time to look it up. The HPRA is now the body that authorises medicines in this country. When did it start? Was it the 1990s?
