    Discussing the cost of pharmaceuticals (generic and branded) in Ireland vs. the rest of Europe.

    Suggested that it would not be legal under EU State rules for Ireland to subsidise pharma jobs, so instead we allow pharma firms charge more for their product.

    I have heard that Irish pharmacists are buying abroad cheap and selling at our high prices.
