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.
Section 13 of the Horse and Greyhound Racing Act 2001 requires the annual financial statements of HRI to be audited by Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG). HRI submits its annual report together with its audited financial statements to my Department.
The C&AG audit of HRI’s 2022 financial statements is ongoing. When this process is complete HRI will submit its 2022 annual report together with the audited financial statements for that year to my Department. On the completion of the consideration of the report and statements by my Department, the documents will be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas and will be publicly available.
