Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Statement of Strategy 2023-2026: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

5:30 pm

Mr. Martin Blake:

The BSE crisis generated significant change but that was across Europe, of which we were a part. It was not that we led Europe. We were part of the European response. The European response in relation to horses needs to be at that level as well. We need to give the leadership to that. A number of investigations are ongoing which are to come before the courts shortly relating to alleged tampering with horse identification.
