Ms Martina Kenny:

On that, we have done a lot of work with carriage horses and Dublin City Council on it. We have also asked many times and before we came here we spoke about the carriage horses. There are men who have been working on carriage horses for a long time and they want it regulated. They ask can we please regulate this. I always ask and we all ask, are we waiting for somebody to die? Are we waiting for a tourist to die?

Sometimes, some of those carriages are not in any way roadworthy and the horses are young and weak. It is wrong on so many levels. For the good guys, it should literally be a licence plate, just like a car, on each carriage so it can be identified.
