I second the proposal of Senator Frances Fitzgerald. This so-called independent body which is to be appointed to deal with the issue of pharmacists' fees is not really independent, as we know, and the end result is predetermined. We also know there was no consultation with the pharmacists on the terms of reference. In fact, it was a unilateral action which was in essence a breach of contract. I strongly support everything Senator Fitzgerald has said.
We learned this morning of the loss of two of our rare white-tailed sea eagles in Killarney. This is a sad occurrence and a blow to our tourism industry.
