Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Rural Crime: Irish Farmers Association

9:30 am

Mr. Eddie Downey:

Obviously, the theft of livestock is very worrying for us. We need to look at where these animals are going, how they are being processed, how they are being brought through the system and who is the ultimate customer for them. It is hugely worrying for us. We have put up €10,000 as a reward to try to find out exactly what is going on here. Major progress is being made in that regard. The Garda is closing in on this situation. We would like to allow it to do its job on that basis. I think that is what we should do. What was the other issue raised by the Deputy?
