Systems, Governance and Procedures in Horse Racing Ireland: Discussion
4:00 pm
Mr. Brian Kavanagh:
It is a major issue and we need to have our voice heard. The live exports of bloodstock are €225 million, which is second only to cattle livestock exports.
It is higher than sheep, pigs or chickens. Sometimes it is perceived to be a niche area but there is significant downstream value.
