Uncertainty continues for Department of Agriculture’s veterinary laboratories

Uncertainty continues for the staff and customers of the Department of Agriculture’s veterinary laboratories, following the report to the Department late last year, by a working group which undertook a comprehensive review of the laboratories.

The review report recommended re-organisation of the central laboratory complex at Backweston, Co Kildare, and options for developing the eight regional veterinary laboratories (RVLs) at Athlone, Cork, Kilkenny, Limerick and Sligo.
