Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 January 2022
2011. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a farmer is entitled to administer distomicide (details supplied) to cattle while the import licence expires on 27 January 2022; if not extended, the period that a farmer can continue to administer this remedy licence under SI No. 786 of 2007; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2203/22]
View answerThe AR16 licence in question is due to expire 27/01/2022 and in general any unsold product must be returned after this date to the supplier. However, as stated on the licence itself, "Any product purchased by the end user may be used until the expiry date of the product". Therefore, the farmer in question may continue to use the distomicide product on their holding until the expiry date of the product itself without reference to the sale or supply licence date.
