Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

I think it would be. One of the complications was that Northern Ireland expressed an interest in being included. Now that it is no longer an EU member state, things have been complicated further. It is a legitimate expectation from them. I think we are well advanced now. I would expect that process to conclude in the next few months. I am reasonably confident of that.

On the greyhound issue, there is a requirement at the moment that at least 10% of the GRI grant goes on welfare.
