Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Ray Doyle:

I suppose I am repeating myself but the answer is "Yes". The advice is there, or the possibility is there, to amend that 2007 regulation to actually recognise, as the Deputy just outlined, that the responsible person was de facto offering prescriptions and prescribing advice to farmers. That advice is there for the Department.
