Enda Kenny ‘must order raids on rotten horse racing industry’

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has been asked to order raids on the horse racing industry amid claims there is “ruthless illegality”, “exploitation”, and a black economy operating in the sector.

Independent4Change TD Clare Daly made the accusations as she outlined how no contracts, time sheets, or formal agreements were in place for some stable hands and trainers.

There is “something rotten at the heart of horse racing”, said Ms Daly as she called on Mr Kenny to order “multi-agency swoops” on the sector.
