Dr. Peter Heffernan:

That is a fair judgment. All parties will have more confidence with it having gone through the earlier stages. The national authorities have to interface with the European authorities on this at the early stages but I am confident that Ireland having come from being in the test case scenario can be repositioned as the country that has the most experience, knowledge and ability to license as we move forward in a way that is compatible with the very onerous requirements of the European legislation.
