Edward Timmins (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

My contribution will be short. I thank the Minister and I wish her all the very best in her new role. I have no doubt she will perform very well. I raise the specific issue of pharmacies and the receipts they give to customers. This is an issue I raised many years ago and brought a successful motion to Wicklow County Council on the matter. I request that all pharmacy receipts give a detailed breakdown of the medicines and any other costs. This should be the norm, as it is in any other retail purchase. It is in the interest of fair competition and in the interest of consumers who should see the detail of what they are paying. It is a simple request for transparency.
