Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed)

5:30 pm

Ms Maddie Doyle:

The Deputy might have met the person we have been communicating with at Shannonside. We have communicated with Mr. Gerard Hussey a lot. He has been working within the industry for the past 25 years and he has a lot of experience in training horses. He is currently operating a re-homing programme for thoroughbreds. He has a really great proposal, which I am almost sure he has submitted this to HRI and the IHRB, but I do not know if he has received a response.
