Mr. Michael Sheahan:

I accept that. We do not normally inspect feed lots or wherever they are sending cattle for slaughter. They are only examined when they come into the lairage of the slaughter plant, which is what happened here. If there is one thing we have learned from the programme, and so on, it is that if a horse slaughter plant was to get up and running again in this country, we would definitely be focusing on where the horses are assembled before they go to the slaughter plant.
