Michael Comiskey (Fine Gael)

I welcome the Minister back to the House. I am pleased to speak on Committee and Remaining Stages of the Veterinary Practice (Amendment) Bill. I thank the Minister for taking the time to address the House on this important Bill and for his recent attendance in the House on Second Stage. I also acknowledge the hard work of staff in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine in drafting the Bill and conducting in-depth consultations with the relevant stakeholders.
