General Scheme of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Niamh Muldoon:
I understand that there were a number of inquiries and a greater degree of focus on the wording used in the code. Quite appropriately, the Veterinary Council took legal advice around its powers under the Veterinary Practice Act. That advice clarified that the Act did not speak to ownership. Accordingly, the Veterinary Council clarified the matter of ownership.
