From its small beginnings it is now one of the largest supplier of medicine in terms of volume into the Irish market. There is not a home in Ireland that doesn’t have a Clonmel Healthcare product in its medicine cabinet, for example Paralief and Easofen from its Analgesic range to Caldesene Powder from its baby product range, all available in pharmacies. As part of the Wellbeing Expo the company are offering some free health checks on its stand, and we are looking forward to meeting as many people as possible in order to encourage better health”, he continued.

Exchequer Returns Continue to Support Case for Significant Growth in Capital Expenditure Commenting on the release of yesterday’s (3rd January 2018) Fiscal Monitor, Ian Talbot, Chief Executive of Chambers Ireland said, “The strong taxation performance recorded for the year of 2017 is a welcome indicator of continued economic growth and stability. Reflecting on these results, the case to increase investment in infrastructure and public services remains very strong. This would consolidate Ireland’s current business environment as we evolve our economic strategy to enable us to continue to grow strongly even as we face future uncertainties." The Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation has announced a new round of the tariff suspension/quota schemes and is calling for applications from manufacturers in the chemicals, microelectronic and related sectors. The tariff suspension scheme offers the possibility for such companies to import raw materials, components or intermediate products from outside the European Union free from tariff duty, if the item cannot be sourced in the EU. The tariff quota scheme is designed to address shortages in the availability of required materials within the EU and can be applied for in the same way as suspensions. Closing date and time for the receipt of the next round of applications is 5.30p.m. on Friday, 26 January 2018. Applications should be sent by e-mail to
[email protected] and posted to the Department. Please note that late or incomplete applications will not be accepted. The suspension of duties on these applications, if they are successful, will come into effect 12 months after the application is made.
