Horse and Greyhound Racing Fund Regulations 2009: Motion
3:00 pm
Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Fine Gael)
Yes. Prize money in racing meets only a small part of the cost of maintaining a horse. Since the introduction of this levy and this fund, the number of horses in training has increased by 41%. In other words, more people than ever before are employed in training centres. There has been an increase of 41% since 2000.
