- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Brendan Ryan: As a perennial late payer, I want to protest. There are complicated procedures to go through to cancel a registration if a complaint is made against that person, but the Bill makes no reference to any court in the case of someone who loses his or her registration for failing to pay a retention fee. I would appeal to the council, if not to the Minister, to work out a procedure involving a...

- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Brendan Ryan: I have no idea from where my amendment came, as I am not as well informed as Senator Henry, but the point has been made. The definition of "premises" must be clarified. Therefore, it would be no harm to include a broader definition.
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Brendan Ryan: I move amendment No. 65: In page 41, paragraph (a), line 37, before "a" to insert "computer data,". While the argument will always be that this provision is implied, we would suggest referring to computer data, disc, tape, soundtrack or other device on which to store information. I will refer to a new way to do something on the Internet that has developed in the past three or four years....

Brendan Ryan: I move amendment No. 71: In page 44, subsection (3)(n), line 15, after "facilities" to insert the following: "or courier facilities or other means of transportation". I will not argue with the Minister on this one. I proposed this amendment to ensure that forms of delivery other than the traditional forms of delivery are identified in the definitions. However, the Minister has tabled an...

- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Brendan Ryan: I am a little puzzled. I was curious when I saw that section 64(10) states that "a statement or admission made by a person pursuant to a requirement under subsection (3)(e) shall not be admissible". When I consulted section 64(3)(e), I found that it states that an authorised officer may "require any person at the premises or the owner or person in charge of the premises and any person...

Brendan Ryan: Okay.
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Brendan Ryan: Having read section 66(1) a few times, I am not sure whether there is a drafting error. Perhaps my brain is too slow to understand what is intended. I refer to the part of the section that begins: In any proceedings for an offence under this Act, a certificate in the form specified in Schedule 3 to this Act signed byâ (a) eitherâ (i) the State Chemist, or (ii) another chemist employed...

Brendan Ryan: That is what the Office of the Chief Parliamentary Counsel is for. The officials behind the Minister are wonderful, but the draftsman always says that these things are implied.
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Brendan Ryan: This section outlines the penalties for all the offences under this legislation. It provides that they will all be subject to the same spectrum of penalties. Are we sure that all the offences that could be committed under this Bill are of equivalent gravity, or has this section been drafted in this way as a convenient catch-all device? I do not want to delay the House, although we are...

Brendan Ryan: I must say that I am sorry to see the end of "Poths Hall", which was part of our student days. We were never quite sure what "Poths Hall" was, but we knew it was there somewhere. It entertained us enormously, although we were never quite sure what it did. I suppose, therefore, there is a certain feeling of nostalgia about it.
