Mr. Brendan Gleeson:

If that is a deficiency in the format of the Vote, we can fix that. However, from the point of view of assessing the performance of the sector, we certainly ask it to do that. It is involved in an exercise right now to assess the economic performance of the sector. It regularly produces a statistical bulletin which shows the number of owners and trainers, and there is a series of performance metrics in that. We ask it, in the context of our oversight, to produce those figures for us. However, they are publicly available figures and we can certainly make them available to the committee if members wish.
