Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture and Food

Impacts of the Veterinary Medicinal Products, Medicated Feed and Fertilisers Regulation Act 2023: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Conor Geraghty:

It affects us in a number of ways. First, we have more responsibility with prescribing dry-cow tubes. We will have more responsibility with prescribing antiparasitics when that comes in because they will no longer be available through licensed merchants and will need to be prescribed. Under the NVPS, we will have to collect the data and supply it.
