If you are a race-goer with ideas and would like to be heard, the Forum members in your area are there to listen. They will bring your ideas to Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) and the racecourses, working to make a difference for race-goers regionally and nationally.

The Forum is made up of race-goers from around the country, from different regions, ages and walks of life. The aim of the forum is to improve the race going experience for both new and regular race-goers alike. Matters will be brought to the attention of the racecourses, the board of HRI and recommendations will be made.

The Forum has 12 members from around the country, including 2 appointed by the Minister for Arts Sport and Tourism. It has formal meetings everyquarter with the senior executives of HRI, chaired by HRI board member Mr Noel Cloake.

To facilitate racegoers, the Forum has created a regional structure. The list below sets out the regions and the racecourses that belong in each.

If you would like to comment on racing in any of the regions, click here.
