Mr. Oliver O'Connor:

The manufacturing companies are members of IBEC and are represented in that capacity by PharmaChemical Ireland, which is a business association within the Irish Business and Employers Confederation, IBEC. However, in terms of their representation in Ireland, we represent the aspects of those international businesses that concern the supply of medicines into the Irish health services. We represent them in that function and PharmaChemical Ireland represents them in regard to their function of manufacturing, taxation and so on.
