RTÉ is to broadcast a major new investigation examining the Irish and European horse industries over two nights next week.

The investigation exposes evidence of systemic flaws in the traceability of horses and details how this threatens the human food chain across Europe. The work has already prompted investigations across the continent. The data allowed RTÉ Investigates journalists to track back and identify thousands of horses that passed through Ireland's only licensed horse abattoir. The majority of the horses were thoroughbred racers, competitors who between them had raced more than 3,000 times, earning their owners more than €1.5 million on tracks across Ireland, the UK, and France as well multiples of that for punters.
