How is that organisation able to get its passports processed through Weatherbys in a swifter timeframe of half the time it takes with HSI? Maybe Mr. Duggan will say HSI totally changed the testing regime and all that but I am sure there would have been some form of lead-in time. Presumably the organisation does not just pull down the shutters and say that now people have to wait months and months. I have many other examples but one breeder told me today that he had applied in July. He has waited for July, August, September, October and into November. He was told it could be the first part of 2024.

Horse Sport Ireland talks about its governance and about funding to its organisation. What funding does the Government put into the organisation?
