National Stud board takes slice of €3.6m

Several state-appointed board members responsible for running the Irish National Stud shared in the benefits of bloodstock investments that netted the company €3.6m last year.

At least one board member moved to significantly increase their interest in a lucrative Irish National Stud (INS)-controlled stallion.

This particular investment saw the highest individual stake, held by a director or the company secretary, rise from 15% to 26%.
