Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We could pick a number of issues on which we could question Horse Racing Ireland. Deputy Penrose might have questions on Kilbeggan racecourse. Deputy Heydon might have question on point-to-point racing. Senator Mary Ann O'Brien might have issues on marketing and so on. Horse Racing Ireland is accountable to the Oireachtas. We are not giving it the money; we are giving the industry the money through Horse Racing Ireland. It has a responsibility to account for that. It has a responsibility to come in here and answer questions on how it spends it.
