I move amendment No. 32:
In page 41, between lines 33 and 34, to insert the following:

“38. The Minister shall within 3 months of the passing of this Act present to the Houses of the Oireachtas a report on his or her future plans for betting duty and the funding of the horse racing and greyhound racing industries.”.
My amendment deals with the issue that we identified earlier such as the rate and where the betting duty goes. Is it just for the horses and greyhound funding? Is the amount provided to them at this point in time sufficient? All I ask is that we have a report within three months on the future plans for betting duty and funding for the horse and greyhound racing industries.
