Mr. Sheahan did not give a figure. In a previous session of the Dáil, representatives came before us to talk about horse welfare. At that stage, we were told that 19% to 20% of horses were not microchipped. Every county is the same. We still have welfare issues regarding horses. When there is a welfare issue and that horse is picked up, the horse is not microchipped in 90% of cases. Has that figure of 19% or 20% improved in the last two to three years or are we still at that level of non-compliance?
