A protest has taken place at the Dáil over the treatment of horses at the country’s only equine slaughterhouse. Organisers of the rally, Martina Kenny from My Lovely Horse and singer Cathy Davey, joined supporters at the Dáil. Ms Kenny told the Irish Examiner they want “transparency” for all the horses that have gone through Shannonside Foods. Up to 100 people joined the charity My Lovely Horse at Leinster House in Dublin on Tuesday. A protest was also held outside the grounds of Shannonside Foods by My Lovely Horse volunteers and supporters on Saturday.
