"If we can get the same training assistance, feed and stimulants that the racehorses receive into our human athletes; we will see further gold.
Additionally, there will probably be no need to slaughter the weaker athletes."

Here we go. From here - https://www.rte.ie/news/upfront/2023/0505/1381028-is-betting-tax-income-fairly-distributed/
Some commentators have continued to question this, but the figures from 2019 clearly demonstrate there is no ring-fencing as the doubling of the betting tax rate to 2% resulted in the betting tax yield increasing from ā¬52.3m in 2018 to ā¬95m in 2019, yet the fund was only raised by just 5% in the same year.*
Yours in fact checking

Iāll throw this out there just to annoy a few other folks. From the article above. Blake and Lambo really donāt like each other and its an interesting debate.
It stated that full-time hands-on employees in the horse racing and breeding sectors account for approximately 10,000 of the 90,000 total agricultural workers in Ireland, approximately 11%.
Yet, the horse racing industry only receives approximately 3.4% of the ā¬2.13 billion that the Department of Agriculture will give in agriculture sector support in 2023.

What do you define as a makey uppy subsidised job?
The lads from the dreary middle class city estates havenāt a notion about the level of employment provided by these industries in rural areas.

Apart from on-course, there should be no bookmakers that arenāt state owned and run. Everyone who bets would have an account and be prevented from betting beyond a certain percentage of their income if they are in the red. Ban all online gambling. Make gambling a conscious choice.

We need more athletics tracks
Why donāt they ban cars in cities and turn the estates into running tracks.
A new Govt after next election will finish off horse racing
Minister Gary Gannon or some such will sort it out

Yes but if we have to subsidise an industry to keep rural people occupied could we not get them doing something useful like building or sweeping roads instead?
