Mr. Darragh O'Loughlin:

I thank the Chairman and the Members of the Oireachtas who have taken the time to listen to what we have to say. The Chairman introduced those of us who are here as delegates, but I would also like to mention that our colleague, Mr. Jim Curran, the Irish Pharmacy Union's director of strategy and communications, is in the Visitors Gallery. After we have made a brief presentation, we will be happy to take questions on the content of the presentation or any other issue that is relevant.
