Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Irish Sport Horse Industry: Discussion

3:30 pm

Mr. Barry O?Connor:

I have talked with the head of that body. The Irish Harness Racing Association is a member of Horse Sport Ireland but not a member of our group, Sport Horse Alliance. It is a separate asset. To be honest I find it odd that they are with Horse Sport Ireland because I thought they should be in a betting structure such as Horse Racing Ireland. It is odd that they are with Horse Sport Ireland.
