Strategic Priorities for Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion

Ms Suzanne Eade:

We provided extra funding last year and then rolled it into the grant to cover some of the insurance increases. That number may go up next year. We met the registrar a couple of times in respect of insurance. That is the sort of support we gave them. We have committed to helping pony racing in terms of insurance costs again this year. We gave them 50% last year and this year we are staying close to them. As we were coming in here today, they did not have a deal in place. I am waiting to hear if they will get a deal. HRI will help out in that way.
