Mr. Michael Sheahan:

As the Senator knows, and as I understood, in any other meat factory I have ever been in, the food chain information comes in at the same time as the animals, such as sheep, cattle or whatever they may be. Therefore, I am afraid I do not know exactly what happened. That was certainly not my understanding of what was happening in the plant with food chain information. It was my clear understanding that it was the same as in every other plant and that the food chain information came in at the same time as the horses.
