asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food his views on the statement made by the auditors to the Racing Board that the financial statements do not give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the board at 31 December, 1987; and the proposals he has in this regard.

In 1984, following consultations between the Ministers for Agriculture and Finance, the Racing Board were requested to change the format of their accounts in order that they should reflect the board's true financial position when laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas.
I am satisfied that the new format provides for more transparency in the accounts and I have no proposals to review the matter.
