Kavanagh’s bonus payment a public relations disaster
Why did the board of Horse Racing Ireland conclude that they should fly in the face of the Department Of Agriculture and award its chief executive, Brian Kavanagh, bonuses on top of a salary which can only be described as obscene in the first place?
Racing, as usual, made the front pages of newspapers over the last week or so for all of the wrong reasons and how Horse Racing Ireland believed this sort of behaviour was in any way acceptable was quite staggering.
