Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion

Mr. John Osborne:

The Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Association, ITBA, would do that discussion and negotiation. There are a number of headaches; there is a paperwork headache and a cost headache with shipping to and from. These things are under review. I am not sure how much wriggle room there is. We know it is complicated. As the Senator has said, a five-day notice period is impossible to comply with in the breeding season for mares in cycle, and so on. It radically needs a good examination and a solution needs to be found for it. I am not sure what that solution can be given the complex Brexit situation.
