Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ollie Ryan:
Most people here are farmers. Over the past 20 years, the RP has played a huge role in the distribution of veterinary medicines and has done a good job. The Department will recognise that. It has to recognise that this Bill will totally wipe out our industry if we are not allowed to prescribe our own medicines.
