Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Horse Sport Ireland (Resumed)

Mr. Denis Duggan:

This is largely driven by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. It is funded under the Brexit adjustment fund. We have opened a Europe-wide tender exercise to select a partner to deliver the system. That is currently under the tender process. Because it is under tender, I ask the Senator to forgive me for not giving information about the number of applicants and so on. I can say that we expect the full tenders to be received by the end of this month and to evaluate them with a view to having contracts signed before Christmas, and to initiate the design and build of a new system in the new year, subject to all the necessary internal approvals and approvals from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
