Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Pharmacy Act 2007, my role in relation to the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (Temporary Absence of Pharmacist from Pharmacy) Rules is limited to their consideration once submitted to me for my consent.
In this case, the Rules in question are currently subject to legal challenge. As a result, they are not currently under consideration.
I am not in a position to comment any further due to the legal challenge.
