Chapter 4: Re-allocation of Voted Funding

Ms Katherine Licken:
Greyhound racing and horse racing are obviously separate as they are funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, not our Department. The gambling levy does not entail a ring-fenced fund, a hypothecated fund. The FAI had made a point and we raised that in budgetary discussions last year about whether there would be merit in increasing the fund and broadening beyond soccer the number of sports that might benefit from increased funding.
