Financial Statements 2021: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board

9:30 am

Mr. Darragh O'Loughlin:

More than 1,000 samples were taken in total across all of those inspections. A number of those returned what we would call an adverse analytical finding, which means we detected a prohibited substance. In any case where we detect a prohibited substance, the matter is referred for disciplinary hearing. We have a referral hearing and we publish the outcome of those hearings.
