Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Harness Racing Industry: Horse Racing Ireland and Horse Sport Ireland

2:00 pm

Mr. Brian Kavanagh:

That is the nub of the issue and that is why HRI has taken a prudent and cautious approach. We do not know the answer to that question yet. Once we find out the answer, we can conduct a risk assessment. Rather than doing this out of a sense of snobbishness or not trying to allow an industry to develop, the board is doing this out of the duty of care they have for their own industry. If we were not in this process, the Deputy would ask the same questions.
