Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Veterinary Council of Ireland Report: Discussion
Mr. Peadar Ó Scanaill:
I understand from where the question is coming. It will obviously burn the minds of registrants. It should be brought back to first principles. The provision of the service for the very first client of the practice relates to the named person on the certificate we grant to allow the door to open in the first instance. If one follows first principles, it is a client of that registrant. I believe the client actually owns the record if there is a legal issue.
