Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

4:00 pm

Ms Ann-Marie Horan:

I considered it. The credit union next to me has a buzzer on the door and has people behind glass panels. However, that would be detrimental to how a pharmacy works. A huge portion of my time would be spent on consultations with people. People come in casually and ask for my opinion on something or they might be worried about something. That patient would not come into a pharmacy. People would only come in if they were definitely going to buy something or they had a prescription.
