Article is paywalled, so open to correction, but this smacks of bring a cheap PR exercise – closing this single abattoir will not solve the problem. Get back to me when they ban live exports and properly regulate this entire industry, with an emphasis on animal welfare instead of maximum profits. They can divert the 70 odd million euros they currently give to support horse racing and greyhound racing and fucking hare coursing and get their bloody act together.

How does a minister shut down an abattoir?
