Ceisteanna (418)

Clare Daly

Ceist:

418. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if his attention has been drawn to outstanding or pending disputes and-or court cases which may impact on the ability of Horse Racing Ireland to provide services to the racing industry from the funding it receives from the Exchequer, in view of the fact that its budget would be impacted on and reduced in the event of an adverse finding by a court; if his attention has been further drawn to any contingency sum being set aside and-or being provided for by HRI to meet any potential liability in such an event; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33363/16]

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.

HRI has informed me that no outstanding cases would have any impact on their ability to provide services to the racing industry from the funding it receives from the Exchequer.
