High Court suspends dentist over 'black market' medicine supply claims

The president of the High Court, Mr Justice David Barniville, suspended an unnamed dentist from practising after the Dental Council applied for an interim suspension order under section 44 of the 1975 Dentists Act, citing claims the dentist sold prescription-only and unlicensed medicines to non-patients. The HPRA is separately investigating alleged breaches of the Medicinal Products Regulations.
