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

11:45 am

Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

I have dealt with this. I will not take a view on that proposal, but I will say that the provisions in the general scheme are based on provisions that were introduced in 2001. It has been that way since 2001. I am not aware that there is any particular problem or issue with it, so it is not something we have proposed.
