- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Pharmacy Services (3 Oct 2024)
Stephen Donnelly: As the Deputy said, pharmacists are highly trusted and skilled. They did an incredible job during the Covid pandemic. There was resistance to expanding their scope and that is why it has not happened in a very long time. I do not subscribe to this thinking. Expansion will make a big difference to ordinary punters in the community in that they will not have to go to a GP with minor...

Stephen Donnelly: I thank the Deputy for his powerful and relentless advocacy of healthcare services for the people in his constituency, including Youghal. He has raised the ambulance training college with me probably every week over the past few years.

James O'Connor: I welcome that. I am delighted there has been progress since we last spoke about this matter. I met the Minister in his office with departmental officials about this, and it is something we have been working on together. Youghal, as a town, has taken a hammering historically.

We have a preferred site, St. Raphael's, and there is a final process and work that goes on; however,...

Above all else, the new facility will bring a new generation of young people into the service, making a...
