Ms Noirín O'Sullivan:

I am not aware of the specific area the Chairman has mentioned. However, I know there have been a number of occasions when sulky races have been "intercepted" by gardaí. There are various laws we can use to deal with the racers and the racing. If the Chairman has a particular area in mind, we can look into it for him. There is various legislation available, in terms of roads regulation enforcement and of public order and safety, we can use if necessary.
