Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Surrounding Recent Reappointment of CEO of Horse Racing Ireland (13 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I understand the other Deputies' frustration and I am not sure the delegates get it. It is a debacle and I am not sure they realise the seriousness of the issue.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Surrounding Recent Reappointment of CEO of Horse Racing Ireland (13 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: I find this whole thing utterly demoralising. I do not think we are getting clarity. This meeting has probably resulted in more concern rather than answers. Two contradictory things have been said. On the one hand, we have heard that the reason for the reappointment was that Mr. Kavanagh is the world's best in terms of horseracing and the world would not survive without him, but on the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Issues Surrounding Recent Reappointment of CEO of Horse Racing Ireland (13 Oct 2016)

Clare Daly: This returns me to the point that the people charged with responsibility for this appointment were the members of the board. I have not heard enough today to reassure me that the board members took the primary decision or were kept up to speed about matters.
