Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Operational Matters and Corporate Plans of Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion

The issue we have run into so far is that the UK is tied into the divorce arrangements rather than the future trade aspect. There has been a positive reception to the idea of that high health, high performance horse movement being free internally within the EU. That is not really what we want, however. It is the movement between the EU and GB that we would like to extend to and that it would become part of the trade negotiations. We would very much seek the assistance of the Government and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to ensure trade in equines is at least on the agenda for discussion during the trade negotiations.
