Mary Henry: I move amendment No. 47: In page 29, subsection (1), line 41, after "pharmacist" to insert "or trainee pharmacist". Trainee pharmacists should also be included. They have left the schools of pharmacy and are doing what could be described as their intern year. However, the registered pharmacist cannot have eyes in the back of his or her head. I would have thought there was an onus on the...

- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: I know we have a great desire to hold everything in public. However, I worry about the complainant far more than the professional when hearings are held in public. I frequently see court cases where patients have justified complaints against doctors but when they consider what would come out in court, the case falls apart. I would not like too much insistence on it being in public. The...

- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: It is something councils must be very careful about. The term "moral turpitude" came up earlier. I do not know what it is but it sounds absolutely dreadful. One must be very careful with professional people if their livelihood and profession are to be removed because of convictions in a totally unrelated area.
- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: Of course the conviction cannot be of murder or something similar, as they would be in prison as a result. We should be very careful that we are not acting as some kind of moral supervisor for peopleââ.

- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: I brought up the term "of unsound mind" when we were discussing a Bill relevant to whether a person could run a gun shop. What is unsound mind? Is it somebody who is forgetful? There was no definition of the term. We would be taking away the person's livelihood and we should be very careful when making moral decisions about issues that will have such a serious effect. It may have nothing...

- Seanad: Pharmacy Bill 2007: Committee Stage (Resumed) and Remaining Stages (22 Mar 2007)
Mary Henry: I move amendment No. 63: In page 41, between lines 35 and 36, to insert the following: ""premises" includes any aircraft, hovercraft, ship, stall, or vehicle;". It is important to ensure the term "premises" is broadly defined. My definition is from the Irish Medicines Board (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2006. There is a considerable problem with the smuggling of counterfeit drugs, a matter...

Mary Henry: I move amendment No. 72: In page 44, subsection (3)(n), line 20, to delete "mail." and substitute the following: "mail, courier or other means of delivery or transportation.". I understand that people sometimes seal their mailboxes to avoid getting things that can only be delivered by mail. Therefore, it is important to provide for other methods of delivery. Who would have thought that...

Mary Henry: I move amendment No. 76: In page 45, subsection (1)(b), line 41, after "separate" to insert "suitable". I am sure the Minister will find it hard to believe, but I remember pathological specimens that failed because they had been placed in totally unsuitable containers. Evidence that would have been valuable, not necessarily in court cases, was lost. People sometimes have to be reminded to...

Mary Henry: I move amendment No. 81: In page 48, subsection (3), line 16, after "director," to insert the following: "shadow director as defined in section 27 of the Companies Act 1990,". I did not know there was such a person as a "shadow director" until I was told about his or her existence. We need to ensure that such people are included in the Bill. I will not delay the House if the Minister agrees...
