Dentist who admitted unlawful export of cancer drugs is struck off dental register

A dentist has been struck off the register of dentists by the High Court arising from his conviction for offences related to the export of unregulated cancer drugs to Middle Eastern countries.

High Court president Mr Justice Peter Kelly said it was a “sad situation” for Jim Madden, whom the court heard had an "unblemished record" for 40 years as a practising dentist in Carlow, that he faced erasure as a result of his convictions in June 2018 at the District Court.
