Dr. Vivienne Duggan:

It is something we have under consideration at the moment with our legislation ethics committee.

We recognise that the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, RCVS, has moved in that direction. From speaking to veterinary fertility specialists in Ireland, it is something that would only be done very rarely, on the odd occasion, and not as a routine or frequent thing in practice. It is something we have under consideration with the council.
