Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of Horse Racing Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Discussion
2:35 pm
Mr. Shane O'Dwyer:
We welcome the Betting (Amendment) Bill and that a good deal of work has been done. We as an association have been lobbying for the past number of years to get a secure funding mechanism in place. We as an industry do not want Exchequer funding and I want to put that on the record. We have been at this since 2009. We welcome it and we know it has gone through Committee Stage and is progressing nicely.
