Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion

Mr. Brian Kavanagh:

We operate under a service level agreement with respect to integrity services each year. That cascades down to an annual budget, which is approved by the board of Horse Racing Ireland. As Mr. Egan said, there is a quarterly review meeting at executive level. Aside from that, there is day to day contact to do with racing. The functions are set out in legislation. They are separate but they impact heavily on each other. We would talk to each other on a day to day basis. Certainly in the run up to today's meeting we would have been in touch with each other regularly.
