The Veterinary Council of Ireland (VCI) carried out a consultation on the topic of telemedicine at the start of this year.
The consultation included a survey, conducted by Amárach Research, of relevant stakeholders, the VCI told Agriland.
A spokesperson for the VCI confirmed that the consultation took place between January and February.
The results of the consultation will be used by the VCI to inform a review of its Code of Professional Conduct, which is currently underway.
Telemedicine survey
While not a public survey, the groups surveyed were diverse in nature, according to the VCI.
The consultation included vets, vet nurses, farming representative bodies, welfare groups, Bord Bia, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, and others.
According to The Journal, no one has been arrested in regards to the incident at this stage, but in accordance with agreed protocols, the child and family agency Tusla has been notified by An Garda Síochána.
In a statement, the Gardaí advised that “it is an offence to cultivate, import, export, produce, supply and possess cannabis except in accordance with a ministerial licence”.
“Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis. Under the Misuse of Drugs legislation products containing THC are strictly controlled and possession is unlawful except under licence,” Gardaí said.
This comes after it was reported that the sweets are now widely available online, and easy to get a hold of. In at least one incident, the FSAI said sweets containing cannabis oil were consumed by a number of teenagers, one of whom subsequently suffered serious adverse health effects requiring hospitalisation.
