Pharmacists to meet Harney

The Irish Pharmacy Union (IPU) said it will meet with the Health Minister to discuss the ongoing pharmacy dispute.

In a statement after an Executive Committee meeting today, IPU president Liz Hoctor said the union did not believe that a resumption of normal pharmacy services was likely at this time.

Mary Harney has welcomed the move by the union to accept her offer for talks on the future of the pharmacy sector.
