Governance Issues: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (Resumed)

Dr. Lynn Hillyer:

Sometimes it goes the other way. Where, in an emergency, a racecourse veterinary surgeon has been detained or been otherwise unable to attend, our veterinary officers have stepped in to allow the race meeting to go ahead because we are all qualified clinical veterinary surgeons. It goes the other way but we would never allow a racetrack vet to take regulatory samples. That would not be appropriate.
