General Scheme of Horse Racing Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Kavanagh:
I think the industry recognises this and, in some ways, HRI acts as a buffer between the industry and the Government, in terms of the checks and balances necessary for a State body. Sometimes the industry does not appreciate this, and there is no need for it to do so, but HRI acts as a buffer.
