Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Horse Sport Industry Strategy: Engagement with Horse Sport Ireland
Mr. Denis Duggan:
The November 2023 date refers to a different process, namely, the FEI's equine ethics and well-being commission, which is due to report in November 2023. This is entirely separate. We are going to put together an expert group on the social licence operating in an Irish context, coming out of the international report that the FEI is going to prepare.
I should point out as well that the matters that are under consideration by Mr. Justice Clarke involve an employment matter. The Senator has mentioned his report being published. It will most likely not be published because it refers to an employment matter.
