It's about a Department Special investigation Units investigation into a veterinary shop in Cillin Hill Kilkenny.
Another whistle blower story where they tried to squash the story.
Fairly damning on our traceability.

You might have been bang in the money. Bet there’s a big interest in ponies at the moment.

I was saying to the Lad that brings cattle to mart for me about the price the belted galloways made in gort.

He said, lads can’t spend money and it’s putting the price of the unusual up a bit.

The horse trade is booming atm for anything desirable be they trained or with potential. What you sell out of interest? Anyone I talk to in the equine world recently tells me that good young horses of all types aren't there to meet demand due to the reduction in breeding in the last decade. A friend of mine who deals in everything and anything with a mane and tail tells me that you'd sell lorry loads of children's ponies of all shapes and sizes the last 12 month's.

Just the sort that's always in demand, hard bought but easy sold if there any good. The same thought crossed my mind but you need lots of time and no fairs or marts mean you'd be all over the country sourcing them. I never made much at it but I learned lots, anything I earned I seemed to blow on the next one.

I used to buy and break a lot of them when I was in college and had plenty if time. A few weeks after starting work full time I got a bad fall and broke a bone in my back. 3 months off work

I did say anything with ability or potential, the awkward type stock are nearly worthless the same as they've been for the last decade or more. At least 10 year's ago there was a slaughter outlet but that seems to have disappeared the last year or 2, is there anywhere left killing horse's? There was only 2 factories I knew of in recent year's.

At the height of the noughties you'd sell a picture of a horse and there was more bad ones than good ones left in the country. Most of the prime stock were exported as usual and the junk passed around from man to man looking for a quick euro. Then the wheels fell off the wagon from 2008 onwards and they were sold mostly for killing in there thousands. The majority of what went weren't any great loss to the national herd and it helped mitigate what otherwise would have been an animal welfare catastrophe.

There were very few foals of any type bred in the last decade and it's becoming apparent now that there's a shortage of good quality young stock for all disciplines. The people that were at horse's all there lives weren't the cause of the last collapse. It was by and large newcomers who decided they'd breed off whatever excuse for a nag they could source safe in the knowledge that horse's were dearer every week and they'd turn a handy euro. Much the same thing happened with property, a rising market and if you bought today and sold tomorrow you couldn't but make money.

My understanding is Clint bought the story/script in the 80's and did nothing with it until he was old enough to play the main part himself in the late 90's. Playing the long game there.

I was at a horse slaughtering facility once.
The one in the southeast.
Must be back fifteen years ago now.

There were fields of heavy tall piebald cobs around the facility. The type that are extinct in this country now. I was told they were being bought by the factory for peanuts and dropped off but a fair few were being exported to Germany. What's rare is appreciated and what's not is not and all that.

I was amused lately to see a gypsy tall hairy coloured cob on fb out in Brazil.
Here they were considered dirt even by horse aficionados. And the rest of the world couldn't get enough of them.

B and F meats? I was never at the factory but I know a few lad's that used to send horse's there and later to Thomastown. There were bound to have been horse's bought out of the lairage and exported. Gypsy cobs were always in demand around here and most of them went to the UK and the continent. I haven't saw any quality numbers of them in a good while though sadly.

Yep b and f.

Baltinglass Mart was another education. Cattle lorry loads of cob horses never handled or broken just let the ramp down and yer own look out if you happened to be on the alleyways going to the pen.

They were the main buyer's of fit horses in Drumshanbo for year's during the recession. There'd be lorry loads of them assembled in the mart of a Saturday evening and more men buying horses off the land.

There were lots of sales locally at that time, Manorhamilton, Mohill, Carrigallen, Ballina, Castlerea and more used to be on monthly or at least a few times a year. That all stopped shortly after the market collapse and Drumshanbo and Granard were the only sales I knew of that continued regularly up until pre Covid.

Can someone tell me if I can make a electronic fund transfer to machinery dealer in NI using the AIB Mobile banking App or will I have to go to my branch? He has quoted me a price in Euros so thought it might be handy way of paying under the current circumstances.

It mentions payments to other Irish accounts and payees. I only used it once in last 18 months but that was for something handy here in the south.

I think you will be able to set it up online with a card reader but not via the app

You will need a card reader. As it is going to a UK account the conversion will be done on the day's rate.

I usually type up on an open Word document beforehand the Receiver's A/C BIK, IBAN, Receivers A/C number, plus he last 8 digits of the Receiver's account. These can be copied and pasted individually into the AIB webpage. Hesitancy or delay entering the numbers, it will annoyingly keep telling you that you are being logged out due to lack of activity.

I rang the bank and asked them to walk me through the online transaction - they were very helpful (contact + AIB 01 771 2424.).
It cost approx €15 to transfer money to UK account.
