Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Horse Racing in Ireland and the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board's Anti-doping Programme: Discussion

Dr. Lynn Hillyer:

I am happy to speak to this. Ideally, we would have loved to have had Dr. Suann over here. That option remains open in the future should there be a need or the direction to do so. What we did was open the doors to him. We opened access to all of our systems and databases, and all of our staff. He had open access to everything he wanted. It was not so much us giving him the information we felt he wanted. He came with long lists of what he needed and he had everything that we could give. That included interviews with staff, for which I was not present or involved in, and access to our databases and all our records because that was very important for us. There were no "no access" areas - that is bad English. All areas were open to him.
