Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

When the Department of Agriculture raided the home of XXXXXXX XXXXXXX in February 2012, officials found a significant supply of Nitrotain, a drug prohibited from use in Ireland, along with documents which listed the names and contact information of numerous racehorse trainers, said to number at least 20. XXXXX has since been dealt with by the courts. I request under the Freedom of Information Act the full list of racehorse trainers referred to in the documentation the Department of Agriculture seized when they raided XXXXXXX's home. This information was included in an official Department of Agriculture operation which concerned the importation of drugs that are illegal for use in racehorses. It is imperative the Department of Agriculture makes this information available to fully demonstrate the transparency of it's operations and also that it is properly protecting horse welfare
