I am surprised that Mr. Keeling cannot clarify that point. Legalities seem to have dominated the process going back as far as 2011. It certainly seems to be the case that there were two pieces of legal advice - one from Horse Racing Ireland's steed and one from the Department - that there was a contract of indefinite duration issue. I find it incongruous, going into a third contract, that there is no clarity on whether a contract of indefinite duration still hangs over the tenure of the chief executive officer.
