Minister for 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 matter referred to by the Deputy is an operational matter for HRI but they have informed me that there are detailed procedures in place for any employee to raise matters of concern.
