Horse racing amendment Bill
Doherty seeks a date for the horse-racing amendment Bill, citing an unfilled board position; the Tánaiste expects legislation to proceed after the pre-legislative report and before Easter.
Have we an exact date for the horse racing (amendment) Bill to come to the House? I have asked before and I was told we are under starter's orders and it is out of the traps and all that great stuff, but can we have an exact date? The reason I am being nosy about it is that there is a position on the board that has been vacant for a year and a half and which directly affects the owners' representation, so it is unbalanced, and we are not going to make any appointments to the new board until the legislation is passed.
