16 January 2019 - More than half of Ireland’s medicines come from or are transited via the UK.
The Irish government has said the country’s medicine supply will be threatened by a no-deal Brexit, with more than half of the 4,000 medicines marketed in Ireland coming from or transiting through the UK.
While Westminster lurched towards a widely expected defeat of Theresa May’s Brexit deal, the Irish cabinet was making critical decisions to cope with the potential catastrophic effects of no deal.
