Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Harness Racing Industry: Horse Racing Ireland and Horse Sport Ireland (15 Dec 2015)

Éamon Ó Cuív: I am fascinated by the submission from HRI. The one case it makes that might have any traction is the veterinary case, and I would be very interested in any independent evidence it has that using a race track for harness racing and for thoroughbreds on different days and at different times would in some way put the thoroughbreds at risk. I would have thought that sport horses and...

Éamon Ó Cuív: It is not very clear in the statement made by Mr. Kavanagh. I appreciate the clarification. In respect of the issue of money, it seems to be a cheap shot. I cannot see how the harness racing people could be responsible for some debate that is going on as to who should fund the equine centre. In the heel of the hunt, if HSI is going to fund the equine centre, I presume the taxpayer and the...
