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

Dr. Orla Keane:

My understanding of the matter raised by ICOS is that since the new regulations have come into force, there has been a collapse in the sales of intramammary products from the merchants. The sales of intramammary products have collapsed significantly. However, it may be the case that those products are being sourced from veterinarians as opposed to merchants.
