A NUMBER of questions have been raised in the Dáil recently concerning sulky racing, road safety and the welfare of horses being kept in urban areas. Most of these questions referred to the death of an in-foal mare known as ‘Anne’ earlier this month, who collapsed on the N4 near Ballyfermot after a sulky race on Dollymount Strand. She was abandoned by her owner and later died at UCD Veterinary Hospital.
