Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Veterinary Practices: Discussion
Mr. Peadar Ó Scanaill:
There was a change of registrar and almost immediately I went in as president. In fairness to the registrar, she had been with us for 14 years at the time. She had given us three months' notice, from the middle of January until the end of April. We had an interim CEO or registrar and then a second interim CEO while we were trying to recruit. We have now recruited a full-time CEO. Therefore, there were changes which took place over a long period. We would be far happier if we had concluded the process much quicker. The change of registrar and the new committee members coming in would have added to the difficulty in getting to the bottom of it, but we are almost there.
