Ceisteanna - Questions: Medicinal Products (16 Feb 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: I must take the Minister up on the point that it does not seem to be affecting us worse than other places. Given all the different causes we are hearing about, whether Covid or the war or various others, we would expect that to be impacting across the board.

Aindrias Moynihan: I acknowledge the different initiatives the Minister has been undertaking for women's health. The funding and access he has already been putting in place for Cariban is proof of this and demonstrates the commitment. As the Minister outlined and as so many people have been raising with me, there are these difficulties. Having timely and affordable access is so important. As the Minister is...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Medicinal Products (16 Feb 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: For women to be able to access Cariban via their GPs would be so much more affordable, practical and accessible than going through consultants. I am glad the Minister is taking steps in this direction. It is so important that this is followed through on and this type of access is created. I understand that a number of different drugs offer the same benefits and that the market...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Medicinal Products (16 Feb 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: Many pharmacists and members of the public seeking to fulfil prescriptions are finding time and again that the various different drugs are not available. There are supply issues which are causing a need for a switchover from one product to another, if it is possible for people to get these products at all. While there are always similar issues, the situation seems to be much more intense...

Aindrias Moynihan: There is nothing unusual about different supply issues, but it is so much more intense now in respect of the breadth, number and range of drugs under pressure, for various different reasons, being so much wider now than what it would have been in other years. Many pharmacists tell us they have seen different issues over the years. Regarding the steps that would need to be taken, there is...

Aindrias Moynihan: There are one or two brief points that I would like to ask the panel about. I thank the witnesses for their various contributions on the report.

I am interested in whether there are particular thoughts on that. ...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed) (15 Feb 2023)

Aindrias Moynihan: Dr. O'Connor referred earlier to PRSI on earned income and on unearned income, and he made the distinctions on that. That unearned income, whether it is from rent or whatever, is coming to the pensioner who has generated and earned it by working throughout his or her life to create it and paid the tax on it. I am trying to figure out why there would be a distinction there and they would be...
