Seamus O’Kane, AVSPNI President and NIVA Junior Vice President, recently represented local vet associations at the Veterinary Ireland Annual Presidents’ Dinner in Kilkenny. As well as a great dinner, the event provided opportunity for networking with Veterinary Ireland peers, discussion on common issues and in depth debate on the impact of Brexit on animal health and welfare. Seamus also found time for a morning walk to enjoy the beautiful surroundings at the Lyrath Estate. AVSPNI and NIVA are grateful for the invitation from John O’Connor, outgoing President of Veterinary Ireland.
