I want to try to get a grasp of where the VCI is coming from because Ms Muldoon said a number of times that this legislation is not something she would comment on. Ms Muldoon will not comment on whether there is an issue pertaining to the regulation of owners or not. I want to go back to the point on the regulation of individual vets. Does it operate on the same basis as the system that the Irish Medical Council has? Does the VCI have the power to strike off a vet for misconduct?
