Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am happy to meet the Deputy further on this. I know he has been a strong advocate for this matter and the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine has given its attention to it. I am certainly happy to continue to work with him to make progress on it. We have work to do; there are real challenges in some parts of the country. The welfare of all horses is not where it should be. We have to work together to make sure there is not space for that to be the case. We have to work with all agencies to address issues where challenges are arising. I am happy to work with the Deputy on any legislative changes which could be helpful and to support that effort as well.
