I welcome the Minister of State and the officials. I have two questions that may have been answered already. The first question is on the refill on the Internet. I see that the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers' Association has said that farmers should be able to purchase veterinary medicines from legitimate sources online, be that in Ireland or the EU. Will the Minister of State explain if this means medicines that are approved in Ireland and are not subject to prescription will be precluded from being purchased online from outside of Ireland by a farmer?
