Mr. O'Shea is from Glengarriff and is based in west Cork.

What would be the geographical implication if this directive went through in its current form? Mr. O'Shea might explain the implications for his farming community and some of his clients who do not have a veterinarian on their farms on a yearly basis. There is pressure on veterinarians in that particular part of the world. Mr. O'Shea might give us an indication of the geographical issues and the implications for a sheep farm, in particular, that never has a veterinarian on the farm. How would this derogation work if it remains unchanged?
