- Description
- Jack Power looks inside the pharmaceutical industry’s lobbying campaign to water down reforms. From Government Buildings to the corridors of the European Parliament – and even a playground in Bray, Co Wicklow – the pharmaceutical industry has been quietly waging a massive lobbying campaign.
The aim is to kill key parts of proposed regulations governing the industry, which have been working their way through the European Union’s policymaking machine.
Ireland has come under particular pressure to bat for the industry, given the large concentration of pharma giants such as Pfizer, Eli Lilly, MSD, Johnson & Johnson and others with manufacturing plants or other sites in the State.
The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm that puts forward new laws, proposed a landmark overhaul of regulations covering the pharmaceutical industry two years ago.

Recipe:
This quantity makes up to three medium pancakes (a good suggested serving per person)
Ingredients
120g flour (plain or wholemeal)
1 large egg
200ml low-fat milk
Sunflower oil
(Substitute buckwheat flour if you want gluten-free galettes, or almond milk if you want a dairy-free version.)
Method
1 Beat the egg into the flour and add the milk, whisking to a creamy consistency. If you have time, let the mixture stand in a jug in the fridge for up to an hour.
2 Heat the oil in the pan, then wipe off the excess, to leave a light coating.
3 Pour enough batter to fill the centre half of the pan and tilt it to let the batter fill out the space.
4 Cook the first side until the top is no longer liquid. The second side will need less time. Golden brown is the desired finish.
