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

2:20 pm

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

Page 9, dealing with section 25(2), is simply consequential on the changes we have just made. It states that two members of HRI representing the racing regulatory body will cease to be members and the Minister shall be informed of the names of such members by the racing regulatory body. This is precisely what the Senator was referring to. They will decide themselves which seats will be lost. They have a fixed time period in which to do that, but if they do not do it, the Minister can make a determination. That is a reasonably prudent provision.
