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...

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...

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.

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...

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. 22: In page 16, subsection (2)(a)(ii), line 26, after "state" to insert "or in the State". I tabled this amendment because it appeared that if a person from outside the State was convicted in another State of an offence, the nature of which in the opinion of the council had a bearing on the person's fitness to practice, he or she would not be allowed to practice....
