Financial Statements 2021: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board
9:30 am
Mr. Gordon Conroy:
As you can imagine, a Leas-Chathaoirligh, he was very concerned. He subsequently wrote a very strong letter to the IHRB and the Secretary General wrote to the HRI about it. We are dealing with a body that receives about 90% of its funding from public funds, through HRI, so governance and financial controls are critical. That is very much the Minister's view, hence why he wrote to the IHRB to express his concerns about this.
