Public Accounts Committee

Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Phil Meaney:

This board has no plans and sees no necessity to close further tracks. We realise the importance of the existing footprint. We realise there are pools of dogs in the areas where tracks exist. I remember the time when the track in Navan closed down. It was closed for commercial reasons. It was a very different time.

We have no plans to close down any further tracks at this stage and we do not see any need to do it.
