Public Accounts Committee

Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015

9:00 am

Mr. Phil Meaney:

As I am sure the Deputy is well aware, there was originally three horse racing tracks in Dublin, namely, Baldoyle, the Phoenix Park and Leopardstown. Today, there is only one facility. It is a fantastic facility, which I should have mentioned in the context of my remarks about the Aviva Stadium and Croke Park. The IGB and the greyhound industry should aspire to having a facility like Leopardstown. The strategy to which we have been working is due to expire and so we need to put a new strategic plan in place. As pointed out by Mr. Creed, the landscape has changed a great deal in the last 48 hours and, as such, that plan will need to be very different to what was originally proposed.
