I thank the witnesses for attending and for their engagement on this issue. I will start where Ms Muldoon finished and ask her to explain matters to me as someone who does not fully understand how this works. She stated that the council ensured "the highest standards of veterinary medicine in the regulation and management of the professions." Is it the case that, as Deputy Cahill said, it is the council's job to regulate the individual registered vet as opposed to the entity for which he or she works?
