Vol. 281 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tablet Availability.

9.

asked the Minister for Health why certain digestive tablets (name supplied) were not available on the Irish market for a very considerable period.

From inquiries I have made I have ascertained that the product was not available on the Irish market during the months of February, March and part of April, 1975, due I understand to a trade dispute in the American firm which manufactures this product. I am told that supplies of the tablets are now readily available here.

I understand this product is manufactured under licence in England although the firm is American. Is it true that it was not available for distribution here because of a delay in granting the price increase?

I am not so aware.
