Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)

Joe Flaherty: I will conclude on one point, and it is not a question. We have had €600,000 allocated for a new passport system. I know it is not on a par with a bike shed or a security hut, but it is still €600,000 of public money that has been given for a system that we are being told has to date not issued a passport. It is alarming for us. As I said, we will discuss it in private, but...

Joe Flaherty: I appreciate we are over time so I am thankful to the Chairperson for letting me back in. We are in the twilight of this Government. We have been hearing these issues for more than a year and it is deeply troubling. We are seeing no light at the end of the tunnel. I propose that the committee writes to the Minister for agriculture and asks him to appoint independent consultants to do a...

It was quite shocking to hear about the experience he outlined and how much it has impacted him and, in particular, his wife. Another measure we do not have is the personal cost to the families when the services are not there, and they are very much not there....
