Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Operational Matters and Corporate Plans of Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion
Mr. Brian Kavanagh:
It would be disappointing if Great Britain was reducing its veterinary standards. Its standards are high and are the same as ours. All the focus in business is on horse welfare issues. Personally, I would be surprised if Great Britain was going to reduce its standards. As the Deputy said, it may not have the liberty to do what it wants. If one takes with one hand, one has to give with the other.
