Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Harness Racing: Irish Harness Racing Association

Mr. Mark Flanagan:

We have licensed bookmakers on site. They are the same bookmakers that would be at the dogs or the thoroughbred racing. They pay a similar amount. It is between approximately €100 and €150 to stand at each meeting depending on the size of the meeting. Turnover depends on the type of race. Big races have fairly good turnover. There are five or six bookmakers there. They are permanent bookmakers. They are trotting bookmakers but they also do thoroughbred. Turnover can vary but I believe it is healthy enough.
