Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)

Victor Boyhan: I am not very far wrong. We will round it off to 1,400. I am not suggesting the RDS has an axe to grind but it is always difficult for an enforcement body that has oversight responsibilities. Out of all the organisations before us, HSI and nobody else oversees doping testing in the Republic of Ireland. Did that ever come into the witnesses' equation or thoughts? Is there dissatisfaction?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Challenges Facing the Horse Sport Industry: Discussion (Resumed) (2 Oct 2024)
