Paul Daly: We are being told that there is serious friction between showjumping, equestrian, dressage and HSI. The boardroom eventually filters down to the team.

Paul Daly: I have a couple more questions. I said I might come in at the end, but most of what I raised has been covered. I have a couple of questions on the passport and licensing side of things to get my own head around matters. Excuse my ignorance on this, but is microchipping involved for a passport for a sport horse, such as that for a thoroughbred?

Paul Daly: There is microchipping.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed) (15 Nov 2023)
Paul Daly: Is it the same procedure? A vet has to put in a microchip and he or she does the markings, as for a thoroughbred.

Paul Daly: Could a blood sample not be got at that stage? Can DNA be taken from blood? Why does it have to be hair? It must be very frustrating when the process is so slow anyway and then a hair follicle is not up to scratch, whereas if blood were taken when the vet is microchipping and doing the markings, it would be guaranteed. Does blood not work for DNA?

Paul Daly: I am solution driven. This process is already frustratingly slow, and then a letter could be received in the middle of it stating that more hair is needed. I do this with cattle. We got the buttons or hair options. Of course, the hair option was a lot easier for me than putting cattle in and buttoning their ears but one ear is better than two tails, if the hair follicle comes back and the...

Paul Daly: I have one more question. Let the boys sort out what way they will vote. To be solution driven, has the board any policy or public relations strategy in place to try to lift confidence in Horse Sport Ireland back up? With the greatest respect, we hear on a daily basis that there is very little confidence in HSI among the general public. I presume the representatives are aware of that. A...
