Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of Horse Racing Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Discussion (Resumed)
10:45 am
Mr. Paddy Doyle:
There are secretaries and farriers but they are not directly at the coalface, whereas the stable staff are directly at the coalface, dealing with the horses. They are hands-on at the coalface stage. People who are considered to be in the racing industry are secretaries, horse box drivers and other such staff.
