The problem we have here is that horse racing seems to be unique as a sport in Ireland, in that we have Horse Racing Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board. They are two distinct organisations. There does not seem to be a similar practice in any other sport, with the regulatory body and the body responsible for the sport being distinct from each other. Will Mr. Gleeson comment on the regulatory board being almost exclusively funded by HRI?
