Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mr. Rob Doyle:

With the permission of the Chairman, I might take that question. The legal position is very clear that these medicines are now prescription-only medicines. They can only be dispensed on foot of a prescription and the legal advice is that the only person who can write a prescription is a veterinary surgeon. That option is, therefore, not legally available.
