Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
General Scheme of Greyhound Industry Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
4:00 pm
Dr. David McGrath:
Yes, it works well for Horse Racing Ireland and The Turf Club. One body is responsible for the day-to-day running of the industry and the other is responsible for the regulation and that works very well. The provision I referred to earlier appears to me to be reflective of what happens in the horse racing industry. Obviously, that would be far better than having people being judge and jury in particular situations.
