I last met officials from Horse Racing Ireland (HRI), on Thursday 28th February 2019 with officials from my Department. HRI's Chairperson, Mr Nicky Hartery, joined the discussions via teleconference from London.
The items discussed during the meeting were the current re-development of the Curragh Racecourse, the draft HRI Strategic Plan 2019 to 2023, and the potential re-development of the Irish Equine Centre.
No further meetings between the Chairperson of HRI and myself have been scheduled for the present.
