In the county where I live, a large amount of land is owned by Bord na Móna, where huge herds of horses wander around. As I said, this has caused a number of accidents recently. I do not see anyone doing a check on that. I am not saying it is the local authority's job. I accept it is to do with the Department and legislation. We need a different witness to answer those questions. County council responsibility only occurs when a horse is in a public place or on a public road.
