    The former head of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland has been appointed chairman of Horse Sport Ireland.

    Prof Patrick Wall, who was the first chief executive of the Food Safety Authority of Ireland and has been a prolific commentator on the recent horsemeat in burgers scandal, takes up his position on the board of equine body today.

    I think this is a great move, clearly the government wants to help drive efficiencies by merging these two clearly related bodies.

    Professor Wall left the FSA a good while ago.

    He is both a vet and a doctor so it is not surprising that he is linked with these organisations.
