Written answers

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

The question raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for HRI.

I understand HRI Racecourses Ltd. is a subsidiary company of Horse Racing Ireland. HRI has informed me that the role involved was subject to the usual open advertisement and competitive interview process.
