Bord na gCon Financial Statement 2017

9:00 am

Mr. Gerard Dollard:

It is fair to say that the financial sustainability of the current structure and model is challenged. There is no doubt about that. The accounts of recent years make that case plainly. That is the whole purpose of the Indecon economic assessment. That was set out in our strategic plan. We have asked Indecon to look at the industry's footprint, the population catchments of stadia, the dog pools, the conditions, and the standard. Indecon has engaged a team of architects to work on that. We have also asked it to engage in consultation with the industry and it has done a significant amount in that regard. From the perspective of financial sustainability, the existing model is problematic. I expect that Indecon will have some recommendations in that regard. I cannot tell the Deputy what those recommendations will be, but that is what Indecon has been tasked with doing.
