Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion

Ms Niamh Muldoon:

If one were to look at a snapshot of the register now the highest majority of vets are in their 30s and 40s. We also have significant numbers in their 50s, 60s and 70s. There are higher numbers on our registers now than we would have had five, ten or 15 years ago. Every single year, the number of vets joining our register increases. That is a good thing and probably speaks to increased demand from students coming from the UK or different programmes across Europe.
