Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Michael Grassick:

We were in contact with the feed company. There are two main feed companies in Ireland, as the Deputy is probably well aware, and they were very upset about what happened. They did an investigation themselves, and that is all I can say about it. They were satisfied they knew where the contaminant came from and they eradicated it once they knew what they were looking for.
