"Animal welfare issues at marts" and "breaches of regulations on the transport of animals in mainland Europe" have been exposed in a documentary to be aired on Monday night.
RTÉ Investigates has followed the export journey of bull calves born in Ireland and destined for other markets, uncovering the alleged ill-treatment of these animals, with footage of calves being kicked, thrown, pulled around in marts and during the export process.
