Mr. Peadar Ó Scanaill:

May I add a point that might help? Certification is non-transferable. One cannot remove one vet and put in another. If the certificate is issued to the vet one wishes to remove, it goes back to the council, ending the practice and service. Another practitioner applies for a certificate to open a veterinary service to the public at and from 1 Drumcondra Road again. We visit to ensure the standards are adhered to.
