Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Issues Surrounding Recent Reappointment of CEO of Horse Racing Ireland

2:30 pm

Mr. Joe Keeling:

I would have no problem with it, although I think the other one is more important. We did have a corporate governance structure going back to 2014. Every time we bring in new board members, we need to do it in accordance with governance procedures. We did it in 2014 and are still waiting. When I was appointed to the job in 2013, I was told I would have a new board by 1 March that year, but I still do not it. We are waiting for two Government appointees and it might be 2017 before it happens. It makes things very difficult when we are missing two Government appointees.
