Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: Is Mr. Osborne aware that RACE let 21 staff go while those negotiations, which I am unaware of but Mr. Osborne says are taking place, have been ongoing?

Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: I will contribute again later, but I am particularly concerned about the issue of welfare. According to the jockeys I know, there are fewer welfare issues where jockeys have received accredited training. It is part of all of the welfare issues we are speaking about. Horse Racing Ireland's record states it spent €7 million on welfare last year but I do not see where. I have one...

Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: It sounds more like the best-dressed lady or the best-dressed gentleman at the races. It would not depict anything at all to do with welfare.

Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: To come in on that last point, Mr. Osborne might have thought I was trying to get at him, but it is very important that as a country with a history of jockeys developing at a young age, and who leave the academic system in the same way as soccer players, we would encompass their welfare as much as the animals they are riding. By this, I mean they should have a qualified traineeship behind...

Financial Statements 2022: Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (20 Jun 2024) Verona Murphy: That is not a question. It is just adding to what Dr. Hillyer has said in relation to the welfare of our young jockeys. I know of two young jockeys injured in the UK who were entitled to nothing when they came home here to their parents with broken backs. They are entitled to virtually nothing, including social welfare because of their age. It is important, therefore, that we minimise any...
