Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed)
Mr. Denis Duggan:
There are probably two reasons for that. As we said in the opening statement, when we do exit interviews with staff, they will cite salaries elsewhere as one of the main drivers for their decision to leave. The other issue, where we have spoken in the equestrian media about this in recent weeks, is the level of abuse which staff in the organisation have to take from breeders, both online and in phone calls. That is regrettable, not appropriate and we want to cut all of that out.
