Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brian McHugh:
There is no legal requirement on every village to have a pharmacy. On the issue of pharmacies, we previously had a situation in Ireland whereby a pharmacy was not allowed to open if it was too close to another pharmacy. That is the type of very strong regulation and restriction that does not benefit consumers.
