Vets fear threat of “wild” livestock
The Irish Veterinary Association (IVA) is expected to seek an urgent meeting with the Minister for Agriculture immediately after the formation of the Government, to discuss the implications of immobilisers not being available to vets for large animal procedures from September 1.
The Department of Agriculture has announced that their use will become illegal 10 weeks from now. The equipment will however continue to be legal in Northern Ireland, Scotland and several other European countries.
