Kildare South TD and Minister for Agriculture, Martin Heydon, has confirmed progress on implementing the recommendations of the Wall Report to improve equine welfare and traceability.
He said a status update on the action plan shows that all 37 measures set out in March have been advanced, with particular progress on a new IT system to strengthen horse identification, registration, and export tracking.
Other developments include stricter enforcement of equine legislation, new training and end-of-life welfare measures, and pilot projects using technology such as smart trackers.
Minister Heydon said the reforms are designed to close gaps in traceability that allow neglect and mistreatment.
A new booklet outlining equine owner responsibilities has been published and will soon be issued to around 22,000 equine premises.
A public consultation is underway and will close for responses on 8 September 2025.
