The head of sport for RTE, Declan McBennett, said:“Live Sport is an integral part of Irish life & RTÉ Sport is delighted that it is returning across all RTÉ platforms. For everything that it brings in terms of physical exercise, mental well being, social and community cohesion and economic stimulation the benefit of sport will again be appreciated by all. Horse Racing in this country is a key component of that and HRI are to be commended for getting racing back in a safe and responsible manner.”
