Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) is a commercial state body responsible for the overall administration, promotion and development of the horse racing industry. The Racing Regulatory Body (Irish Turf Club) is a private body charged under the current legislation with responsibility for the integrity and the reputation of Irish racing in Ireland and Internationally.

Horse Racing Ireland and the Turf Club have confirmed to my Department that they have fully investigated all matters under their remit in respect of the issues raised by the person to whom the Deputy refers.

As this matter is the subject of court proceedings it would not be prudent for me to comment any further.
