Public Accounts Committee

Bord na gCon: Financial Statements 2015 (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Phil Meaney:

The chief executive, myself, the board and the executive have put in a huge effort to get racing back in Dublin. I believe we are getting closer to that but I cannot say when it will happen. We have put in long hours. The CEO stated earlier that the IGB is losing €30,000, that is not counting the amount of money the dog owners are losing in that period. It is very obvious that we need to get racing back in Dublin.
