It has been revealed that one of two plants that slaughter horses here has been suspended from operations following a Department of Agriculture inspection last Friday.

Officials who visited Ossory Meats in Offaly found problems with 25 horses.

These included issues with the horse markings being different to those noted on their passports and some of those presented as being yearlings being much older.
