- Seanad: Roads Bill 2007 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (20 Mar 2007)

- Seanad: Roads Bill 2007 [Seanad]: Committee Stage (20 Mar 2007)

- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Second Stage (20 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: I welcome the Minister and the Bill. One can see how badly needed it is when one sees the dates of some of the Acts being repealed, such as 1790 and 1870. It is astonishing that we still must use these Acts, so it is good to see them repealed. The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland, for whom I have great regard, is both a regulatory and a representative body. The Minister continues this in...
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Second Stage (20 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: The Competition Authority has been mentioned. While I can understand why the Minister would want to refer matters to the Competition Authority, the society should have sent its code of conduct to the Minister first. Thereafter, if the Minister believed it was necessary, she could have referred it to the Competition Authority. The Bill does not mention recertification, on which the Minister...
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: I do not wish to be obstructive either but I share Senator Ryan's concern. This legislation is among the most important we have had for months. The wait for this Bill has, in some instances, been 130 odd years.
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: The Minister has gone a long way towards addressing the concerns expressed by many Members during the Second Stage debate regarding both the enormous profits that can be made by individuals and public safety. As the Minister has recognised, it is essential to have a division between the prescriber and the dispenser. I am concerned as to whether the legislation will be retrospective, as a...
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: With regard to Senator Browne's final point I did not think an economic link would exist between the doctor and the pharmacist. I want to know why such generosity is shown by selling the suites at 20% of the market value. Somehow the other 80% will be paid. I support the Minister with regard to generic drugs. Senator Ryan is correct to state this may reduce competition enormously. From...

Mary Henry: I move amendment No. 5: In page 11, subsection (2)(a)(iv), line 8, after "education" to insert "and training". I assume that the word "training" has been left out of this section of the Bill. The phrase "education and training" is used in several places in the Bill. I have looked for examples in the Bill of either the word "education" or the word "training" being left out, and tabled...

Mary Henry: I move amendment No. 7: In page 11, subsection (2)(b), after line 45, to insert the following: "(x) confer honorary fellowships.". I am quite keen on this proposal. I once thought the Minister and I might get ourselves lined up for honorary fellowships some day.
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland is currently able to confer honorary fellowships.
