I think it's more about misrepresentation...
...if the packet says beef, you expect beef. Even if that beef isn't of particularly great quality. If there were horse burgers I wouldn't have a problem eating them though I can understand some equestrian minded people objecting.
However, horse meat/DNA masquerading as something else? Kind of suggests dodgy dealings regarding the suppliers. Especially the Irish ones. Maybe some racing horses didn't quite make the cut...
