Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion

Mr. Denis Egan:

I will answer that question in a moment. The key point in regard to the Comptroller and Auditor General's conclusion is that he said the accounts gave a true and fair view of the state of the IHRB's finances. All money that was received by the IHRB has been account for. The audit only covers certain areas. It covers the financial aspects. It is not surprising that the Comptroller and Auditor General did not express any opinion on areas that he did not cover. I want to stress that there was a clean audit opinion from the Comptroller and Auditor General. If there were any issues with the accounts, that would not have been the case.
