Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
New School of Veterinary Medicine: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Moriarty:
Unfortunately that can be a vicious circle. If there are not enough people in a practice, it is unattractive for people to join. In a rural practice that was a five-person practice and is now a three-person practice, those three people are covering the 24-hour on-call rota. To join that practice is less attractive. We need more graduates who are interested in working in these practices.
