    Here I'm quite suprised at this. I always thought that the wholesalers had been the real winners in the whole pharmacy bubble/boom. Just shows how tight things have got. Was a big chain not bailed out by these guys about a year back?

    Thats interesting, and in one way a bit surprising, but then not really. They have their finger in a lot of pies, and have been fairly aggressive on the acquisition front over the pat few years.

    Shame for anyone involved though, and I hope they get sorted out properly

    I wouldn't exactly say they're in trouble... Just cost cutting.

    They've a 45% market share in Ireland, their nearest competitor Uniphar made a balls of things with the IPOS exposure so woudn't say they're overly concerned!
