On behalf of XXXXXXXXXX I request the Minister provide reasons for the following executive decisions: 1) Why has DAFM refused to allow XXX to apply for funding from the same funding sources it uses to provide Horse Sport Ireland with €2 - €2.5 million per year to fund the Irish Sport Horse Studbook and other studbooks XXX manages; and 2) On what basis does the Minister believe it is legal to provide state aid to Horse Sport Ireland to subsidise the company's Breeding Department and the studbooks it manages.
