Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

I wish to confirm that an application to transport animals was received from the individual concerned. Processing of the application has been delayed pending the resolution of issues surrounding the transfer of the vehicle into the applicant’s name. The applicant will be informed of the outcome shortly.
