Abattoirs firstly must be approved to slaughter and process meat under SI 22/2020 by the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine (DAFM) or their Local Authority. In the case of DAFM, this process is clearly laid out on the Gov.ie website.
Regarding exports after approval, abattoir operators should make enquiries, in the first instance, with their respective DAFM or Local Authority supervising officer, who can advise them appropriately.
