Public Accounts Committee

Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Colin Walsh:

There is no duplication. The sales centre is open six days a week and it is handling all the calls across the entire network. The staffing levels in the stadium, in terms of stadium operations, are quite tight. The food and beverage people are not in the stadium during the day, so the possibility of somebody managing the booking in each stadium, relative to the centralised model, is much more inefficient. As set out in one of the commentaries I read, if the sales centre moved to Dublin, we would be looking at increased labour costs, increased rental costs and redundancy costs for the Irish Greyhound Board, IGB.
