Horse Sport Industry Strategy: Engagement with Horse Sport Ireland
Paul Daly (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Dr. Egan mentioned rare breeds. Is there any part of the strategy for Irish thoroughbreds? Drafts are becoming increasingly rare. Is there a strategy to try to maintain traditional Irish breeds? She talked about the Kerry bog pony and the Connemara pony. The Irish draft is one I have an interest in. I think the day is coming when we will not have Irish drafts. I imagine that will be part of the Department’s strategy into the future.
