Mr. Michael Sheahan:

We have. Many things have happened. As the committee knows, the investigation division has led the way in the investigation in conjunction with the gardaí, and the plant has been closed. The investigation has broadened now beyond Shannonside Foods, to other issues that came to light in the programme. We have alerted our staff in Dublin and Rosslare ports. We have also alerted our colleagues in Northern Ireland. We have asked them to do extra welfare checks on the basis that it may be the case that more horses may be exported due to the fact that there is no longer a slaughter plant in the country, and so on. We have taken many actions already, and there are many issues that we have been discussing as regards next steps.
