Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion

Ms Suzanne Eade:

This year, events not knowing whether they could get the relevant insurance really put them on the back foot. There is more of an onus hitting the IHRB in terms of insurance for participation risk as well. That was the biggest issue we faced coming into the current year. Obviously, Covid was also tough for the organisers as they could not run point-to-point races and then had to catch up. They held some events on the track. This year, they are kind of back on track.
