Horse Sport Industry Strategy: Engagement with Horse Sport Ireland
Joe Flaherty (Longford-Westmeath, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Horse Sport Ireland is on its road show at present. It is commendable. I referenced some of the queries from the Equestrian Competition Venues Owners Alliance, ECVOA, earlier. Obviously, it is important that HSI engages with all the major stakeholders, and particularly one as big as that. It is engaging with the public in competitions. It is a critical area, in particular, for bringing young horses forward. That organisation would rightly suggest that it accounts for where 80% of all equestrian activities are taking place. They would argue that HSI is not engaging with them. How would Mr. Duggan respond to that?
