Public Accounts Committee to meet about racing's rights war
HRI CEO Suzanne Eade: 'Any attempt to paint the tender process as unfair, or the distribution model as unjust, is either lacking a basic understanding of the media rights landscape or is misrepresenting the facts." Healy Racing
The €235m controversy surrounding Horse Racing Ireland’s media rights agreement — which has been bitterly opposed by a number of Irish racecourses — has been brought before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
The powerful political finance group will meet on June 1 to discuss the issue, which includes a €35m payment to HRI from the deal, which was negotiated by an internal committee from within the Curragh-based governing body.
