Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013: Post-Enactment Scrutiny (Resumed)
Mr. Tim Kirby:
The first two procedures would be less invasive than the surgical one. Certainly with training, there are people performing these procedures. Some people would have basic training on it and they can do it. One does not have to be a veterinary surgeon. Some people who are qualified as technicians would do it. Other people with fewer qualifications and less experience would do it also. The only procedure that would be banned in the UK would be the surgical insemination technique but the big issue is that people would still be performing it there even though it is illegal.
