Committee Chair, Deputy Jackie Cahill says “We are global leaders in the horseracing industry, and any question around its integrity or the possibility of drug use could be extremely damaging. Breeders, jockeys, owners, and trainers are dependent on the viability of the sport in Ireland and the good name of the industry around the world. The Committee hopes that these meetings will bring clarity to the situation. The Committee looks forward to an enlightening debate over the coming weeks.”
