Irish and British horseracing and breeding industry would be unsaddled by crash-out
“You only appreciate what you have when it comes under threat,” said Brian Kavanagh, chief executive of Horse Racing Ireland, concerned at how Brexit might pan out.
This agreement would fall after Brexit Day, March 29th, if there is no deal. Racing’s “real fear” was a crash-out, which would “seriously accelerate” the need for new arrangements, said Kavanagh. “The potential delays at ports and all the paperwork are going to have a massive knock-on effect,” he said.
The industry hopes Theresa May can nose her withdrawal deal across the finish in a House of Commons vote today.Geraghty said he would love to hear UK politicians decide on “something logical and sensible”.
