Okay, that is grand. I do not know which of the witnesses deals with passports. I have a situation at the moment where one horse has three registrations and cannot be killed because of the system. Is the passport registered with the animal identification and movement, AIM, system in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine or with Horse Sport Ireland, HSI? There are three registration numbers, but they are for one horse. It is not fit for human consumption for reasons that have been outlined earlier. Why would there be three registrations on the one passport?
