Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Irish Sport Horse Industry: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Barry O'Connor:

As a body, it should all go to the one place. When we are talking high performance, we are thinking how we can get jobs and exports. Every euro the Department gives to us or to Horse Sport Ireland should be converted into inward investment, jobs and exports, and nothing else. It is not for people's enjoyment. It is to create the multiplier effect for the good of the Exchequer.
