Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Challenges facing the Horse Sport Industry: Discussion

Mr. Ronan Corrigan:

The areas are ones where we were advised take an element of time, relating to the education of our board, the transition of our board and the length of term of our directors. Those things are predominantly the things that we are still staging through. We undertook workshops with Mr. Senan Turnbull, who is one of the architects and authors of the sport governance code for Sport Ireland. We have actually held workshops with Mr. Turnbull, who advised us on the methodology to follow. One of the things Mr. Turnbull highlighted to us was to not sign off and say we are compliant until we are satisfied we are almost beyond compliance.
