asked the Minister for Agriculture the amount of money spent by Bord na gCapall on the purchase of stallions in 1981; the number of thoroughbred stallions and Irish draught stallions purchased; the current location of all stallions; whether the board are satisfied with each stallion; and if all the stallions bought in 1981 by the board are still in their possession; and, if not, what happened to any not now in its possession.
Written Answers. - Stallion Purchases.
752.
Bord na gCapall spent a total of £19,352 on the purchase of four stallions (three Irish draught and one thoroughbred) in 1981 for leasing under their Leased Stallion Scheme.
The board, like any private purchaser, are unlikely ever to be fully satisfied with the performance of all stallions purchased over the years. Nevertheless, the board are satisfied that, based on foaling returns, their present pool of stallions are performing in a highly successful manner.
Stallions purchased by the board are disposed of if, after an appropriate time at stud, they are not considered successful. One of the stallions purchased in 1981 developed a pathological condition and was disposed of in accordance with the board's policy.
The location of the board's current pool of stallions is detailed in the following statement:
