Eight racecourses benefit from HRI grants

Total grants of €3.5m have been approved for eight individual racecourses under Horse Racing Ireland's Capital Development Fund set up under the five-year strategic plan for the industry.

Both Galway and Naas racecourses will receive funds to facilitate their redevelopment work over the winter while Killarney’s new Tote facility, opened earlier this year, has also been grant-aided.
