The provision in Industrial Relations legislation for the review of Joint Labour Committees is outside the remit of my Department.

However Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) a commercial State Body responsible for the overall administration, promotion and development of the horse racing industry has informed me that it and the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), in conjunction with employers and representative bodies across the Horse Racing Industry commenced work on an Industry Best Practice Employment Guide in late 2017.

This body of work is currently being consolidated by HRI and the WRC into a draft guide for review by the HRI Board and the representative bodies.
