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. John Carroll:

I agree with that fully. The product would have to come through merchants in Northern Ireland but they could purchase product in the North and bring it down or indeed, collect it from an Irish supplier. The Irish supplier will believe it is going north but the merchant can go up the road and unload. There are possibilities of major abuse here.
