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.

Senator Ryan is correct to state this may reduce competition enormously. From...

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 One can see how badly needed it is when one sees the dates of some of the Acts being repealed, such as 1790 and 1870.

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: Order of Business (Resumed) (20 Mar 2007)

Mary Henry: I support the call for a debate on the health service but we would need days for one because of the serious number of problems in it. I call for perhaps a more manageable debate on the reports of the prison visiting committees. Some Ministers are not enthusiastic about debating reports but the Leader believes they should be debated. There are several years of reports which have not been...

Seanad: Education System: Motion (Resumed) (7 Mar 2007)

Mary Henry: I welcome the Minister of State to the House. Like Senator Quinn, while I support much of what is contained in the motion, the Minister for Education and Science has done an incredible amount of work. There are great failings within the education system but the Government amendment claims that progress has been made and I applaud the Minister for that. The issues the motion addresses are...
