Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill 2011: Second Stage
I note that Senator Bradford mentioned that sometimes it is easier to access a vet than a doctor in a rural area but it can be the opposite as well. That is certainly the case in areas such as Connemara where it can be difficult at times to get a vet, even though they are fantastic and give a wonderful service and come out at all times of the day or night. The time factor involved in them travelling from their base to wherever they are needed can be crucial to the delivery of a quality service. We cannot contemplate that it would not be viable for them.
