Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: I welcome the witnesses. Why did the Department close the plant? The witnesses stated this morning that there was no issue whatsoever with the abattoir and there were no complaints. Is that correct?

Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: Hold on a second. What we all saw was horrific and Mr. Sheahan has stated clearly that that did not happen within the abattoir, but within the lairage, over which the Department does not have a remit. That last is astounding in itself. The relevant department in every other country seemingly has that remit. When someone delivers calves to a lairage in France, there are vets present on a...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Horse Racing Ireland
Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: Then the Department’s oversight was lax. The Department did not really have any oversight of the abattoir, did it? Issues arose on foot of the programme. They were not welfare issues but there were many other issues. Is that correct?

Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: Mr. Sheahan said the Department had no remit over that and that it would not have found those issues anyway. The Department’s remit was as an AO or veterinary inspector within the abattoir.

Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: Why did the traceability issues under the Department’s remit not come to light? Why did it take “RTÉ Investigates” to uncover them? I am a farmer’s daughter. A farmer can get inspected at the drop of a hat. Farmers are put to the pin of their collars around the country. In most instances, their whole lives are made miserable by the Department, yet Mr....

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Horse Racing Ireland
Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: Does that mean the IHRB has taken its eye off the ball as regards governance? The integrity of horse racing is one thing, but the issue that has arisen in terms of the transfer of moneys is another. Ms Angela Flanagan was appointed to the board as the Minister’s appointee. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Horse Racing Ireland
Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: What position does she hold on the board? If I recall correctly, the advertisement was for a governance director and a financial director. Was she appointed to one of those two positions?
