WITH just one week until polling day in the 2020 General Election, the big political parties and candidates across the country are pledging their support in building a vibrant sport horse industry in Ireland through additional funding and support.

At a Fianna Fáil agriculture press briefing in Dublin on Wednesday morning, agriculture spokesperson Charlie McConalogue was asked what his party would do for the industry, which is worth €816 million to the exchequer and supports 14,500 jobs.
