Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Could I please request the outcome of investigations that were carried out at AHAR last weekend? Was a horse found on the property of AHAR with strangles? Were there carcasses discovered by your inspector's? Was a digger ordered in to look for more carcasses? Is there an ongoing investigation relating to concerns over animal welfare at AHAR? What is Athlone spca involvement with yourselves and why have they formally issued a statement publically on behalf of the DOA refuting allegations of any concerns or intervention by yourselves?
