Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Veterinary Practices: Discussion

Mr. Peadar Ó Scanaill:

We are saying to the committee that there is not a fourth party. The first party is the vet. We are the regulators, the second party. The third party is the animal owner, the provision of service is to the animal owner. There is no fourth party. It is not allowed under our Act. That has always been the case.
