Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Michael Grassick:
That question was answered at the previous meeting. At the time, the French laboratory was testing to a greater degree. The expert from the laboratory in Newmarket stated it was testing to one part per billion, whereas in France the testing was five times more sensitive. The Chairman may remember that exchange but that is my memory of what was stated at the meeting last week and that is why the French laboratory detected the substance.
