Industry crash on 1 July 2009
This Industry crash on 1 July 2009 link explains how the Department's failure to make new national regulations that would correctly transpose Regulation (EC) 504/2008 caused an unexpectedly crash in the Irish Horse Industry on 1 July 2009 as a result of the Department 'instructing’ the passport issuing organisations (PIOs) to endorse Section IX of equine identification documents (passports) as ‘not suitable for human consumption' from 1 July 2009 in respect of all equines born up to 30 June 2009 (before 1 July 2009).
