Mr. Conor Geraghty:

I thank the Deputy. I am not sure I entirely understand the question. Our information, which is probably the same as the Deputy’s information as we are only a stakeholder rather than being in the inner circle, is that all anthelmintics will be prescription-only medicine from the end of January 2022.

We are aware from being on the antiparasitic stakeholder group that advice was sought from the European Commission on this status. Further advice is sought from the Attorney General and we have not got it yet.
