Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Systems, Governance and Procedures in Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Brian Kavanagh:

We do not fund it directly. That funding is contributed by the trainers out of the prize fund. As the Deputy knows, the prize fund comes from the owners, sponsors and Horse Racing Ireland. We do not go to an organisation such as the ISSA and give it money.
