Horse Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2020

Mr. Darragh O'Loughlin:
The origins of the Turf Club go all the way back to the mists of time, to 1790, as a private members' club, but the IHRB, of which I am the chief executive, is a limited company, limited by guarantee. It was established by the Turf Club and the Irish National Hunt Steeplechase Committee in 2018 in order to stand independent of the clubs so as to perform the regulatory functions in Irish horse racing. Therefore, my employer is the IHRB as an entity; my employer is not the Turf Club.
