Pharmacy Bill 2007 [Seanad]: Report and Final Stages (4 Apr 2007)

Liz McManus: I understand the substance of the amendment and I would like a brief comment on it to show that the Minister has taken on board the issue I raised.

The Minister is hopeful about the pharmacy sector and her hopes may be well-placed but she should not...
