General Scheme of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian McHugh:

My understanding is that the Bill will ban a veterinary practice from being owned by non-vets. Veterinary practices in Ireland that currently have some element of ownership by non-vets will be banned. A number of those are in place. That is my understanding of the impact of this Bill.
