Dr. Sonja Egan:

In terms of the issuance of the yearling passports, I cannot say if it is a different organisation they went for. I cannot say whether it was an identification document they received or whether it was a stud book passport. I just want to reference that.

Regarding the Irish draught stud book passport, as Mr. Duggan mentioned, it is very regrettable that these delays have happened. However, a policy decision was made at the start of the year as to how DNA analysis would be carried out. That brought on the change to have the foals registered on the SNP platform instead of the microsatellite platform. Therefore, if that breeder's dam and sire were not on the SNP platform, we had get those which would of course have delayed the parentage verification of the foal against those parents.
