Horse Racing Ireland Bill 2015: Report and Final Stages

I move amendment No. 3:
In page 4, lines 10 and 11, to delete “in relation to integrity services” and substitute “under this Act”.
I am making a small technical amendment at the request of the racing regulatory body. I have changed this section for the avoidance of any doubt as to the intention here. If the racing regulatory body wishes to establish a limited company for the exercise of any of its functions provided for in this Act, it should be permitted to do so. I would also not like the legislation to unintentionally prevent such a development. This revision better reflects this intention and, although he is not here, it is also consistent with the amendment proposed by Deputy Ó Cuív.
