James O'Connor: I thank the Minister for being present. It is important to note the impact this legislation will have on the future of media and how we interpret all methods of communication. There has been extraordinary change in the past three decades in how people communicate on a daily basis. I am probably part of the first generation of elected representatives, from the 2019 local elections to the...

Horse Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (22 Sep 2022) James O'Connor: I welcome the representatives from the IHRB and HRI. I am interested in sport and I have met quite a few of the witnesses previously. As a regular race attender, I know 2020 was a challenging year with Covid. I would like to address Ms Eade first regarding attendances at the Curragh Racecourse and its profitability. Significant money was expended renovating the course. They have been...

Horse Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (22 Sep 2022) James O'Connor: It is a shame given the funding that has been invested in that course. The overall cost of the project came in at more than the cost of the renovation of Longchamps. It was a significant investment and that needs to be looked at immediately and some solution found. I have a huge concern about that. Connectivity is an issue as well. Investment in public transport is key. The racecourse...

Horse Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (22 Sep 2022) James O'Connor: A sum of €4 million is astronomical. I am not a structural engineer. Could the witnesses give an indication of what that depreciation relates to? Losing €4 million a year is worth asking about.

Horse Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (22 Sep 2022) James O'Connor: I might just go over to Mr. O'Loughlin. I understand he came from the pharmaceutical industry to his current role. How much grant funding did the IHRB receive in 2020 from HRI to run the regulatory board? In addition, I would like a breakdown of full-time, part-time, casual and voluntary staff, such as stewards. It would be helpful to know that.

Horse Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (22 Sep 2022) James O'Connor: Deputy Murphy touched on a serious issue. I am involved in point-to-point racing and disclosing that is important. The insurance costs in that are frightening. Different bodies within racing look after each aspect of it, but there is a collective need to seriously examine that problem. I am getting many calls from point-to-point committees, not only from within my constituency. There is...

Horse Racing Ireland: Financial Statements 2020 (22 Sep 2022) James O'Connor: I have a question for HRI on administration costs from 2019 into 2020. There is an increase from €7.83 million in 2019 to €8.423 million in 2020. I want to get a background on why that administration cost increase happened. I think it was related to labour costs but what are these labour costs? Will Ms Eade explain that?
