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)
Dr. Paul Corkery:
This goes back to the difference between antimicrobials and antiparasitics. As I said earlier, these are almost in the nature of feed. In Ireland, one does not see symptoms. There is generally no necessity for a diagnosis. They are required, they are different and they are part of a herd health plan, which is why the TASAH scheme, which I mentioned earlier, is so important.
