The Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development has made arrangements to allow horses to be imported from the United Kingdom under licence, and subject to strict protocols which were agreed with the Irish Horseracing Authority and with the Turf Club on Friday, 4th May, 2001.

Horses imported must be accompanied by

the Department;

- by additional certification from a Private veterinary practitioner providing additional Foot and Mouth Disease related guarantees and
]- by a permit authorising the movement of the horse from the point of entry into the State to the point of destination. This is obtainable from the District Veterinary Office of destination.
