- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Jackie Cahill: Before we hear from members, I want to make a few points as Chair. To say the “RTÉ Investigates” programme was disturbing would be an understatement. To see the way horses were treated was horrific in the extreme. As a country that prides itself on its horse racing industry and horse sport industry, Ireland must have suffered reputational damage if an abattoir like the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Claire Kerrane: I thank the witnesses for coming in and for their opening statements. Most of my questions are for the Department. First, Mr. Sheahan said he still has not received the footage. It has been two weeks and I imagine the investigation that has been launched will very much need that footage. When does he expect to receive the footage?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Claire Kerrane: It was made clear by the Minister that the Department became aware of the footage before it was aired on RTÉ. That was stated on the Dáil record. On what date did Mr. Sheahan or the Department see the footage?

Claire Kerrane: When was the Department given the indication of what would be in the programme and that it would be aired?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Claire Kerrane: Was that written correspondence from RTÉ to the Department informing it of what would be aired or what the issue was?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (26 Jun 2024)
Claire Kerrane: There was clearly nothing of any magnitude in that correspondence that would have constituted concern over continuing slaughtering. What I am getting at is that the shutdown happened after the programme was aired rather than on the back of the Department being informed. I take from this that the Department received very little information when RTÉ corresponded with it on 22 May.
