Réada Cronin: Which was before the State was founded.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

Johnny Mythen: Ms Kenny said My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue has 700 animals and approximately 300 horses. Is it increasing on an annual basis and is My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue overwhelmed by it? What is the main cause for the abandonment of a horse by a person? Is there a running theme?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

Johnny Mythen: Is it demographic? Is it from a particular region or area or is it all over?

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)

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)

Réada Cronin: The last time I attended this committee, the breeders and racecourse owners were before us. I spoke to them about a national retirement fund, and I know this group has also spoken to them about a retirement fund for thoroughbreds. Has My Lovely Horse Animal Rescue had any response from the racing industry or Minister around that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

Réada Cronin: Would Ms Doyle mind letting me know if he has received a response?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

Réada Cronin: Something I was working on after the "RTÉ Investigates" programme into Shannonside Foods Ltd. was a register on animal abusers and people who have been found guilty. The Minister was not keen on it because he said they were reported on in the media and that was enough. It is, however, not something we can rely on. I was heartened by the number of rural TDs, not just urban, who were...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Welfare, Treatment and Traceability of Horses: Discussion (Resumed) (23 Oct 2024)

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Apologies for the vote. My first question refers to an endorsement IFAC provided for the economic projections which were released alongside budget 2025. In the letter of endorsement on the macroeconomic projections, IFAC stated that one of the three elements of the basis for its approach is a review of the Department's past forecasts to look for errors and systematic bias. Is it fair to...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Maybe IFAC could let us have that. How many times has it overestimated? It should be fairly easy to see in GNI*. It is important for us to see the patterns that are there. IFAC endorsed the macroeconomic projection we received on budget day. Apart from the element I outlined, it also looked at the comparisons on the benchmark projections and forecasts from other bodies. IFAC said that...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Okay. Do the witnesses think the inclusion of BEPS pillar 1 kicking in in 2026 is a credible expectation?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Why?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Ireland's Medium-Term Fiscal and Structural Plan: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council (23 Oct 2024)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Does IFAC have any oversight of the multiplier that is used by the Department for current and capital expenditure?
