Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion

5:00 pm

Mr. Denis Duggan:

Hear me out for a second. We have had to stop processing anything other than urgent applications so that we could migrate the data from one old system that we are retiring to our new e-passport system. We have had to stop in order to allow that change over to take place but at the same time, we are conscious that breeders will need to do things in an urgent fashion like a change of ownership, so we have kept that facility in place for them.
