Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of Horse Racing Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Discussion

3:35 pm

Mr. Andrew Coonan:

That is a very good question. In other places such as Hong Kong media rights have a cascading effect. The revenue generated from media rights goes into prize money, the provision of funding, charitable organisations and towards looking after stable staff and jockeys. That is not what happens here under the legislation.
