Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tim Drea:
I can take that. In the past 12 months my staff have encountered a gated premises but they were not delayed very long. We can go around or get over the gate. The gates are closed as we arrive unannounced. As the Deputy mentioned about the long hours in the past, there is still an element of that. It is part of the job. When teams from our division go out, or go with Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board now, quite often we go with no notice and we are clued into the fact that we have to get in quickly.
