Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of Horse Racing Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Discussion
2:45 pm
Mr. Andrew Coonan:
Just to address Deputy Ferris' point, which is well made, there is absolutely no reason whatsoever the sought-for representative that Mr. Iceton refers to could not be a nominee of the jockeys. The man sitting beside me, a former champion and well known to us all, is in fact the breeder of a derby winner already, so I think that answers that particular question. He would have that knowledge to a very high level and obviously that could well be a fit.
