I second Senator Terry's amendment. A similar discussion took place in considering the Veterinary Practice Bill 2004. The Government put forward a stipulation that the premises upon which veterinary practice was to occur be certified, and that the original certificate be displayed. On this side of the Seanad it was suggested that a copy might suffice because of what can happen to important documentation. If an issue is to be made of certification, and if original certificates are already displayed in a veterinary practice, the least that can be done is to ensure certificates describing public premises as being in compliance with legislation be displayed.
