Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Horse Industry in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Ms Claire Owens:

Deputy Ó Cuív asked if a rough costing was done for any horse project. We are currently in discussion with Wicklow County Council on a proposed equine project that will involve working with members of the Traveller community. The basis for the project is that Wicklow County Council would provide a site and that we would manage it. The costing we submitted to it to manage the site amounts to €5,000 per quarter.
