Every group that has attended the committee on this Bill has sought representation on the proposed new board of Horse Racing Ireland. Will the delegations explain how effective the current board is? Are there any instances in which they feel it is not representative of the interested parties in the industry?

Regarding head 5 and the negotiation of media rights resting solely with the board of Horse Racing Ireland, have the delegations raised this with the Department? Has there been any response from the Department on this provision?
