- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Why is there such chaos within Horse Sport Ireland at the moment? We are getting people ringing us up on a continual basis telling us that it is losing DNA samples and not issuing passports. A number of passports have yet to be issued for 2023. Something has gone very wrong within the organisation. What has gone wrong?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Hold on. When the witnesses were here before they were in the middle of changing over. That was a while ago. I am sick of listening to talk about changing over.

Michael Fitzmaurice: The organisation stopped.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: This is all going back to the problem we saw of no accountability anywhere. This is the problem. Would the witnesses admit that the organisation is not functioning as it should be in an effective way?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I am explaining why we might have no passports for things. The other questions have been asked. I am moving on to the Department. In 2016, SI 201 of 2016 was changed and the signature of seller is not now required for the transfer of ownership of an equine. Why is that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: With cattle, the AIM system means that the Department knows where everyone’s animals are at this minute. What is the push back that is coming? Is it from the thoroughbred or the horse sport side? We are hearing there is push back against the Department having an AIM system. Some 2.5 million calves are born every year. Within one week, we are able to have a card for them. There is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Can I ask Mr. Sheahan a question? Next week if any of us go to the mart and there are horses for sale, we can buy a horse. It is up to us when we change the ownership. If any one of us goes to a mart and buys an animal, it goes into our herd that night - the minute we buy it. Why can I decide that I can do it in three months, four months or six months? Somebody got a phone call about a...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Yes. Why are we dabbling with seven different organisations that are getting money but none of which is able to function to the standard that is required to make sure there is a passport straightaway? I remember it being agreed at this committee that the AIM system would be brought in and a person would have the passport for their horse immediately. That was a long time ago and it is still...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I will say one thing to Mr. Sheahan. I cannot have cattle or sheep without a flock number for sheep or a herd number for cattle.
