Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

General Scheme of Horse Racing Ireland (Amendment) Bill 2014: (Resumed) Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

That is a perspective. In practice, the reality is that when things happen off-track, they are generally done in collaboration with the Department. We have investigations personnel who are empowered under various individual legislative measures to do the types of thing the Turf Club is as anxious to do off-track. That system works well in practice.
