RCÉ is a body corporate and a separate legal entity to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) is a commercial state body established under the Horse and Greyhound Racing Act, 2001, and is responsible for the overall administration, promotion and development of the horse racing industry.

The question raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for RCÉ and HRI and, therefore, the question has been referred to the bodies for direct reply.
