Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Claire Kerrane: I thank the witnesses for coming in and for their opening statements. Most of my questions are for the Department. First, Mr. Sheahan said he still has not received the footage. It has been two weeks and I imagine the investigation that has been launched will very much need that footage. When does he expect to receive the footage?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Claire Kerrane: It was made clear by the Minister that the Department became aware of the footage before it was aired on RTÉ. That was stated on the Dáil record. On what date did Mr. Sheahan or the Department see the footage?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Claire Kerrane: Was that written correspondence from RTÉ to the Department informing it of what would be aired or what the issue was?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Claire Kerrane: There was clearly nothing of any magnitude in that correspondence that would have constituted concern over continuing slaughtering. What I am getting at is that the shutdown happened after the programme was aired rather than on the back of the Department being informed. I take from this that the Department received very little information when RTÉ corresponded with it on 22 May.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Claire Kerrane: Obviously, this is not the first time we have seen abuse of animals, via "RTÉ Investigates", abuse of animals. In July last year, we saw similar footage of horrendous abuse of calves. From a response to parliamentary questions I received form the Minister last week, I understand that evidence is still being gathered for that investigation, which is a cause for concern a year later. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Claire Kerrane: With regard to the antemortem checks that are carried out, Mr. Sheahan said in his opening statement that a number of people undertake a detailed antemortem examination, including veterinary inspectors and other technical officers. In his own words there was violence against the horses. How could it be when animals, one by one, are inspected during such a detailed examination that such...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)

Claire Kerrane: I will put my final few questions together. Obviously there are consequences now that the abattoir is shut down. It leaves people with two options - one, to abandon the horse or two, to export it. Did the Department consider the possibility of stepping in and running the show at Shannonside Foods, and running the abattoir as opposed to shutting it down? Due to the consequences of export...

From visiting the latter centre and the centres in Castlerea, Ballaghaderreen and Roscommon, I am aware that they provide so many supports and services that otherwise would not exist in those communities. These services include...
