Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Review of the Operation of the Medical Card Scheme: Irish Dental Association
Mr. Fintan Hourihan:
Yes, because it is the most imminent issue. As things stand, according to the Department we face the threat of criminal sanction for sitting around a table. That may be unlikely, but it has been said to us in the past. Until that gets resolved, as individuals and as an association, we run the risk of criminal prosecution and sanctions. Given the solution is obvious, in that it has been addressed previously with the IMO, then, yes, we would appreciate if that could be the first item to be cleared out of the way.
