A pharmacist has been censured by his regulatory body over allowing medicine to be sold from his pharmacy without having a registered pharmacist on the premises to personally supervise the sale.

An inquiry by the Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI) found Denis Finnerty of Mockler’s Pharmacy, Patrick Street, Templemore, Co Tipperary, guilty of poor professional performance.
