Johnny Mythen: What is the average?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: That is for one animal?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: Obviously I ask a rhetorical question here but Ms Kenny said the organisation received only €54,000 from the Department. It seems to be minuscule compared with a million euro, which is what My Lovely Horse Rescue spends.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: Could Ms Doyle explain how a horse can be tagged three times? What is the position on that or how is that happening?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: I suggest, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, that based on suggestions from people here that we write to the Minister and ask him to put an animal welfare representative on the committee. Maybe the Leas-Chathaoirleach could qualify that himself.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: Yes, I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach. The witnesses mentioned setting up a Garda unit on this. Have they looked at other countries where this exists and models that have worked?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Johnny Mythen: That is fine. I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Thanks.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Thanks Vice Chair. The witnesses are welcome. The committee need to be honest with them on this. If we had an expert in animal welfare, we would be obliged then to have experts in all different things. What the committee has the flexibility to do is bring in experts like the witnesses who have been invited today or to bring in experts who would know the ins and outs of it to give all...

Michael Fitzmaurice: What sort of funding does the charity get? I missed that.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I beg Ms Kenny's pardon.

Michael Fitzmaurice: Is the rest got through fundraising?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Maybe it has changed, but I understood if there was a problem with welfare councils have a vet or a person on animal welfare and the councils were involved in basically rounding up horses.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: I will ask whether the witnesses agree with my analysis. Let us say I have a herd number for cattle or sheep. Before I get that, I must have a cattle crush and a proper shed. Is the same thing being applied in the horse industry? There are some places where I wonder whether they have the facilities at all for handling a horse.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Would it be a good idea to have a check? The witnesses were saying welfare needs to be taken away from the Department of agriculture, but in fairness to the Department, with cattle, sheep and all that, it has regular inspections for different reasons for different schemes. It might be worth liaising with it to see whether this could be checked up on. There is no point in someone who has...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: Can people just buy a horse?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: They do not need an equine number.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: There is a bit of a difference going on here. This is about traceability.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)
Michael Fitzmaurice: With livestock, if a farmer buys an animal off some other farmer, within three minutes it is all changed over. Everyone knows where it is.
