I am very disappointed. I am of the view that the Department has been dragging its feet on this matter. The ordinary farmer driving cattle cannot move anything without reporting it, yet there are horses worth millions of euro on the move and we can see what is happening within that industry. We are very lax on some of the rules and regulations.

Have the Department investigators ever had any trouble accessing yards or stud farms? I am specifically thinking of the gated premises. It is probably an awful lot easier to get into Mountjoy Prison than it is to get into some of these studs.
