Irish Medicines Board (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2005: Committee Stage.

 

4:00 pm

Tim O'Malley (Limerick East, Progressive Democrats)

Not only do we not have the information the Senator seeks, it is extremely difficult to get it because many of these companies are illegal and can move quickly from their country of origin. One may think one is sourcing a drug on the Internet from America, but it could come from anywhere in the world. We have had discussions on this matter. However, it is extremely difficult to get any handle on the quantities involved because one is basically dealing with an illegal activity.
