Funding for the horse and greyhound racing industries will continue to be provided through the Horse and Greyhound Fund. The level of funding to be provided in 2011 will be determined in the context of the preparation of next year's estimates. In the meantime, work is progressing on how best to give effect to the commitment set out by the Taoiseach in relation to the application of betting duty to telephone and internet betting.
