Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of Horse Racing Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:
The provision here is for the nomination of members, who will then be appointed by HRI. However, there is nothing here to prevent them from going through the application procedure. This is a representative board, so it is appropriate that there be a wide perspective on the industry and that there be representative members. That constrains the possibility of opening up the board membership.
