Mr. Shaun Flanagan:

Until products are on the Schedule, the HSE will not be aware what those products are or which are approved. The minute products are on the Schedule, we will engage with the suppliers. There are four products on the Schedule and we have engaged with the supplier of each. Of those four, all I can tell the committee is that for two products, the supplier has stated it is not interested in entering the Irish market even though it went through the process. Two other suppliers have stated they are interested. One of those has confirmed October as its launch date and we are awaiting a date from the other. We will not know more until other products are added to Schedule 1 and we engage with those companies.
