A GROUP of 60-plus breeders from the south east of the country have engaged MEP and former National Hunt jockey Nina Carberry to meet with Horse Sport Ireland, as the problems with getting passports for equines in a timely manner continue.

Joan Douglas, a breeder from Wexford, who was one of the organisers of the meeting, which was facilitated by the Wexford Branch of IDHBA, chaired by Michael Murphy (Wexford) and Nick Murphy (Wicklow), said a range of issues were discussed and sent forward to Carberry, who confirmed she has met with Horse Sport Ireland.
