Jackie Cahill: I thank Mr. Egan. I have spoken in the Dáil on this issue on a few occasions since March 2023. I had started to receive calls on the VAT refund issue around that time.

Therefore, I have to take issue with the suggestion that the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association (1 May 2024)

Jackie Cahill: In my county, however, there are a lot of issues with trespassing, which has recently resulted in a couple of serious accidents, and in virtually all the cases the horses were not microchipped.

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....

We urgently need to recruit paramedics for...
