My Department funded the Indecon Review of the Irish Harness Racing Sector, which was published on 1stNovember 2017. This report provides the sport with a road map for its potential development and I will be supporting the recommendations within my Department’s remit from the onset.
In March 2018 my Department agreed to fund the preparation and development of a Five Year Strategic Plan for the Irish Harness Racing Association. This Strategic Plan 2019-2023 was recently received by my Department and is currently being reviewed. As part of this review, officials from my Department will be in contact with IHRA in the near future to discuss the plan.
