Irish Injured Jockeys says Mazars report into €350k transfer underlines how there are too many separate funds
Consolidation of Irish racing’s charity sector urged by injured jockeys’ body Mazars cast doubt on whether current arrangements carried out by IHRB in relation to charities and funds can continue, something also questioned by O’Loughlin although some changes to practices have already been put in place. The IHRB boss said a more sustainable model is required, a stance applauded by Irish Injured Jockeys .
In recent years, two other bodies, the Jockeys’ Accident Fund and the Qualified Riders’ Accident Fund, changed from charity status to limited companies. The JAF provides an income continuance scheme for riders on the injury sidelines. There is also the Jockeys Trust organisation, founded almost 50 years ago.
Higgins said he was encouraged by the approach being taken by O’Loughlin, who has proposed a possible review of the situation in the new year. “One of the reasons why I would see a benefit to a merger is that it would be easier for jockeys to know where to go when they need something, or what their entitlements are. There is a huge amount of confusion about where do I go next, or who should I go to?” Higgins said.
“He also noted that IHRB staff only provide the administrative service, not the decision-making for the charities.
