Yes, it is.

I move amendment No. 2:

In page 10, line 5, to delete “prescription and dispensing” and substitute “prescription, dispensing and prescription endorsement”.

This amendment was discussed on Committee Stage. We are bringing it forward again. It is an amendment we were asked to bring forward by the Irish Pharmacy Union, IPU. Pharmacists want to be reflected in the Bill. That is important. I understand the Minister has engaged with the IPU. The amendment relates to administration and record-keeping, which is important. It would allow and reflect the endorsement requirements in the Bill when pharmacists are supplying veterinary prescriptions. It is important and is something that pharmacists want. We should be led by them as professionals in this field.
