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:
That would be difficult without seeing what the Attorney General has provided to the Department. It is legally possible and has been done on numerous occasions by multiple Governments, almost since we joined the European Economic Community in 1973. There is nothing new in this approach and there is nothing underhand about it, because the responsible persons have been de facto prescribing. I am asking the Department to take a fresh look at an old question.
