Horse Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2020

Ms Suzanne Eade:

The Turf Club was the original body. It migrated after the Horse Racing Ireland Act 2016. There was a separation, which involved the setting up of the IHRB, which is purely a regulatory body. There may be somebody more technical able to explain the origins of the two, but that is effectively it. The IHRB runs the regulatory services for horse racing.
