Ireland is paying 24 times what the UK pays for generic drugs.
Meanwhile, a Cork company has been waiting a year for a response from the HSE regarding its plans to sell generic drugs.
While the Irish Times reports that the HSE plans to set up a unit to encourage GPs to prescribe generic drugs.
Hmm.
What is going on?

What you may need to know:
1. Pedro Almodóvar began his filmmaking career as the Spanish John Waters (Pink Flamingos John Waters, as opposed to ‘I am crying, writing this’ John Waters) before maturing into an Oscar winning serious filmmaker.
2. Now it’s all come full circle.
3. Unlike nearly every other European filmmaker since the dawn of time, Almodóvar has resisted the temptation to do an American movie. Smart move.
4. Random Banderas alert @ 1’20.
5. Even more random Cruz spotting @ 1’22.

At the core of the Government’s strategy is the creation of jobs for our people. While the unemployment problem has stabilised, I acknowledge that far too many people cannot find work, or have had to leave the country to get a job. Our aim is to make Ireland, by 2016, the best small country in the world in which to do business and to create jobs.
