Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Regulation of Veterinary Medicines: Discussion (23 Mar 2021)

Michael Fitzmaurice: Mr. Geraghty talks about scaremongering. The reality is - and I have a copy of a document to this effect - there were certain places around this country advertising that, where one needed a prescription, the prescription was free if one bought the goods there. If that starts around Ireland, then God help the small farmer. I know where Mr. Geraghty is from and his practice is not far from...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Eradication of Bovine Tuberculosis: Discussion (9 Mar 2021)

I have seen the zero grazing process around my...
