Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

The Prices Acts require that prices being displayed by order must be shown as a charge. Making an order for a profession where the cost of a procedure may legitimately vary for objective reasons — for example, in dentistry, a crown on a front tooth may cost considerably less than one on a large back tooth — will require careful drafting. We are currently involved in a consultative process with the Office of the Attorney General. I hope to have the necessary regulations drafted by the autumn.
