First, where are we with protected destinations of origin, PDOs, and protected geographical indications, PGIs, as regards food? I raised the issue a long time ago when I was a Member of the European Parliament. We were way behind other European countries on that. The witnesses might give us an update on that.

Second, what is being done, and how much communication is there with Greyhound Racing Ireland, GRI, or the greyhound board as I know it, in relation to welfare?

Finally, where are we at as regards the disclosure of the salary of the CEO of the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, IHRB, and the process by which transparency as regards salaries in the organisation is ensured? Those are my three quick questions.
