Vision for the Future of Irish Farming: Macra na Feirme

Mr. Conor Geraghty:

Yes. It is envisaged that the prescription is the prescription but once it lands with the dispenser, they have the option to substitute it from a database. That is my understanding of what has been proposed. It is not up to us to make the decision; it is up to the dispenser. They will have a list of comparable products they can substitute instead of that product.
