A few specific points were raised, particularly with regard to who appointed the receiver, credit requirements and trade debtors. Grant Thornton has an office in Italy. Is it possible for the receiver to pursue animals through traceability provisions and, if they are not paid for, to impound them? Is it the case that the majority of contracts in north Africa are government contracts and that as such, there is a better chance of recovering the moneys?

The point made by Deputy Denis Naughten on access to the United Kingdom falls under the heading of live exports policy and developing a live exports trade policy. Except for one or two specifics, all of the questions are related to either TLT, a credit policy for marts, a live exports policy or the law on preferential creditors.
