Vol. 433 No. 1
37 Mr. Rabbitte asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when the proposed new authority with responsibility for the development of the horse racing industry will be established and functioning; the steps, if any, he plans to take to ensure adequate representation for employees of the industry as well as punters; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
40 Mr. Boylan asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when he will publish a new racing authority Bill; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
66 Mr. Bradford asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when he will publish a new racing authority Bill; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
77 Mr. Barrett asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry when he will publish a new racing authority Bill; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 37, 40, 66 and 77 together.
In my statement of 1 October 1992 I envisaged that the new Irish horseracing authority would be established early in 1994. That is still my aim.
