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 just want to add to what the Deputy said. It is exactly the same with veterinary medicines. We are looking for parity on the island of Ireland. In the North, the equivalent of the responsible person is the suitably qualified person who is de facto prescribing these products. That is the kernel of the submission on fertilisers and veterinary medicines; we need to align the island.
