There is more competition in the pharmacy business than before. In Roscommon town, two new companies have opened in the past few years.

I support the Taoiseach's call to introduce a Bill on the control of solicitors and barristers. It is about time this happened because the vast majority of these solicitors are very responsible and honourable, yet the banks and building societies have let us all down by lending money to solicitors who have given their word on properties without checking the backgrounds of these people. It has caused much doom and gloom in the legal profession and building industry, as titles of properties will now have to be double and treble-checked.
