Horse Welfare Concerns and Compliance with Legislation: County and City Management Association

5:30 pm

Mr. John Condon:

If we were doing that on a commercial basis, it would probably cost us approximately €1,500, if we had to keep the animal for about a week. However, as I said, in Mayo we have managed to get around that. We give contributions to voluntary animal welfare organisations. We give a particular welfare organisation that deals with horses a small contribution every year. When we have a horse that has to be dealt with, that organisation takes it and does it for us. As I said, there are ways to do it without having to spend too much money.
