As the Deputy will be aware, an Interdepartmental/Interagency Group, chaired by my Department, was established to prepare a bid for the relocation of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to Dublin. The offer, which can be viewed on www.emadublin.ie, was submitted to the European Council on 31 July 2017. Since then, an extensive political and diplomatic campaign in support of the offer has been undertaken. A decision will be made on the relocation of the EMA at the General Affairs Council on 20 November 2017.
