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 will make one point on Dr. Suann's expertise, which my colleague has alluded to. I can count on one hand the number of people who have the necessary expertise and experience to carry out this review. The Senator is right in that Dr. Suann's skills and qualifications are in the same direction as mine, although he has been around a lot longer than I have and has worked a lot longer in this sphere. There are two people in the United States, one person in Hong Kong, Dr. Suann and possibly me who are working in this area. It was very important for us that we went outside Europe and our direct zone to somebody who could critically review us as far as possible.
