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.

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: Legislation on carriage horses was not mentioned in the opening statement but it has been something referred to and talked about in the media a lot. Local authorities and county councils do not have any power in that area. Does Ms Doyle want to make a statement on that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Fifty Years of Irish Aid and Perspectives on the Crisis in Sudan: Department of Foreign Affairs (22 Oct 2024)

Réada Cronin: I thank Mr. Gaffey for his presentation on the humanitarian crisis in Sudan. He mentioned that the conflict in Sudan is the world's worst humanitarian crisis and, God knows, it has a lot of competition in that. Are there any specific diplomatic actions that Ireland can advocate to secure humanitarian access and work something around the external support for these warring parties? Ms...

Réada Cronin: The last time I attended this committee, the breeders and racecourse owners were before us.

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

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...
