Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Peter Collins:

We have been developing the legislation for the past year. We have looked at who we can share the data with. We have talked with all the stakeholders and their representative groups, including farming organisations, about how we want to share the information that is on the system, if they want that information to be shared. We will have the information. We are conscious that it is not the Department's information. It is the information of the farmers, vets and dispensers. We are in discussions with those groups about how they want those data to be separated. The system is capable of sharing with all the apps the Senator mentioned. It will do so once we get the go-ahead from those representative bodies. If they want that to happen, we can make it happen.
