Mr. Michael Sheahan:

No. I am just saying that within the slaughter plant that is the plant under our supervision - whether people like to hear this or not - our experience over many years of dealing with this plant is that the horses that arrive into this plant are in good condition. This is not a plant that processes sick, dying or badly lame animals. Despite the impression one might get from the programme that is not the case. What happened next door was terrible. Without the excellent work done by RTÉ, to be honest we would not have known that this was happening-----
