Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Report and Final Stages
10:30 am

I spoke on the issue in its broadest sense on Committee Stage. Today, I express my concerns. The last speaker referred to Merck Sharp & Dohme. I was reared in the valley where Merck Sharp & Dohme still exists. It is an excellent employer in County Tipperary and employs approximately 350 people in high-quality jobs. However, during the almost 20 years of Hanrahan v. Merck Sharp & Dohme, many things happened and many people were affected. One man took on a giant operation and was vindicated in the Supreme Court, and it is on the record of the Statute Book forever.
