Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of Horse Racing Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: (Resumed) Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

11:15 am

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

It will not just be a matter for the Department and there is a broader question. We have gone through a very valuable process and we will probably end up with something slightly better than what we proposed originally. The Department will receive a report and we will consider it.

If, as a result of the report, we are required to change the heads in a substantial way, the Bill will have to go back to the Government and then for drafting. Clearly, it is something that will be sent by the committee to the Department which will have to consider it seriously. We have been through a serious process and a series of consultations here.
