Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed)

Mr. Denis Duggan:

We are working on our efficiency and one of the issues we are addressing with regard to our own administration, as I mentioned in the opening statement, is that we have lost a considerable cohort of staff in that unit. That has an impact with regard to staff training and the ability to meet demands this year. We are also tendering for an e-passport system which will improve our own efficiencies internally as well as aid services for the breeders. This will enable the breeder to apply for some of the things they are applying for today on a paper form electronically which, therefore, will hopefully reduce the number of errors on both sides.
