Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Alleged Issues in the Horse Racing Industry: Discussion

Mr. Denis Egan:

We are a small organisation. If we were to disclose salaries it would be easily identifiable who is earning what. The other point is that while HRI provides funding, there is also another source of income from licensing revenue and so on which is taken into account under legislation when determining our budget. We are not fully funded by public funds, but we are substantially funded by public funds.
