Financial Statements 2021: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board

9:30 am

Mr. Darragh O'Loughlin:

Yes. The Deputy will recall that we had a review carried out by Dr. Craig Suann into our anti-doping programme, which made 18 recommendations in total. We are in the process of implementing those. As the Deputy has pointed out, some of them have a resource implication with increased testing, increased inspections of stables, and so on, to the extent that more resources are needed. Plans are in place to implement those steps.
