The certificate of approval for livestock vessel Express 1 expired on 17th February 2018. The vessel was used to transport cattle from Ireland to Turkey on three occasions after that date - 7th March 2018, 10th April 2018 and 9th March 2018. Minister Creed has stated that a temporary certificate of approval was granted for a six month period that covered those three shipments. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014 I request a copy of the temporary certificate of approval and accompanying inspection reports. I also request a copy of the masters confidential report for each shipment.
