Tipperary pharmacist censured for supervising medicine sale improperly

irishexaminer.com

A Tipperary pharmacist, Denis Finnerty, has been censured for allowing his pharmacy to operate without a registered pharmacist present. An inquiry by the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland found him guilty of poor professional performance for selling medicine without proper supervision. The incident occurred on July 18, 2019, when a PSI officer conducted a test purchase at Mockler’s Pharmacy. This was not the first violation; the pharmacy had previous offenses in 2014 and 2015, leading to a prior conviction in 2016. As a result of the inquiry, conditions have been placed on Finnerty's registration. He must now complete a professional development program under the supervision of a PSI-approved pharmacist to address the issues identified.
