The key question to be answered by the Minister, as someone who gives €60 million a year to Horse Racing Ireland, is whether he believes this was appropriate governance? Does he believe it was appropriate that the matter of the CEO's contract was mandated solely to one individual, the Chairperson, that the mandate was then simply inherited by the next chairperson and that that chairperson then engaged with the Minister in the way that he did without reference to his own board? Does the Minister believe that that was the type of governance required?
