Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion

5:00 pm

Mr. Michael Sheahan:

Regarding the fact that normally the horses came from this premises next door, that place had been shut down at the time and when the slaughter happened on this day. It may be something to do with the fact that the horses slaughtered on that day came from a variety of places. That may have had something to do with the food chain information but I am only speculating. I do not know. I would have to come back. I would have to check with my investigations division colleagues and come back on that.
