Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

Réada Cronin: I am substituting for Deputy Martin Kenny. I welcome Ms Kenny, Ms Doyle and Mr. Cullen and thank them for the important work they do. I follow their group online. I have met them outside the Dáil, outside the Department of agriculture and outside Shannonside Foods in Straffan. I thank them for the work they have done. Some of the cases they deal with are absolutely harrowing. We...

Réada Cronin: The funding is approximately €54,000 and the spend is €1 million. This is a big difference to make up. Ms Kenny mentioned the need for proper enforcement of animal welfare legislation and the resources necessary to allow this to happen. What are the main challenges the witnesses face when working with An Garda Síochána on animal cruelty cases? Where does the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

Réada Cronin: Ms Kenny also said that earlier, and it shows the lack of enforcement. If it was important that ownership had to be transferred, owners would definitely want to make sure it happened because they would not want to be prosecuted. Unfortunately a vote has been called in the Dáil. I am going to have to leave the meeting.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

Réada Cronin: I was saying it really highlights the fact it is not enforcement that shows they do not care about making sure they transfer the ownership. That tells its own story. A centralised ID system for horses across the EU was mentioned. That is something our party would support. Will the witnesses expand on that and tell us what practical supports they believe would be needed to get that off the...

Réada Cronin: Something I was working on after the "RTÉ Investigates" programme into Shannonside Foods Ltd. was a register on animal abusers and people who have been found guilty. The Minister was not keen on it because he said they were reported on in the media and that was enough. It is, however, not something we can rely on. I was heartened by the number of rural TDs, not just urban, who were...
