I am wondering what implications there will be on the Dublin Labour Court Appeal decision that Racing Stables are not deemed Agricultural.

The Labour Court in Dublin has dismissed an appeal by Ballydoyle Racing against compliance notices issued by the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) over failure to give grooms and exercise riders rest periods to which they were legally entitled.
The ruling, which confirms the removal of agricultural-worker status from racing stable staff, has serious implications for the industry throughout Ireland.


I think Ballydoyle Racing will Appeal to the High Court. This situation could have very serious detrimental aspects for all trainers yards and in paticular the smaller yards.
