Yes, I think there would be general agreement on that based on what we have heard around the table. We give the witnesses a commitment that we will write to the Minister outlining that we had the IHRA before the committee for a full questions and answers session and we see no reason a tote licence should not be granted to the association. The sooner that is done the better because, obviously, the absence of a licence is seriously hindering the development of the sport. The horse and greyhound fund might an argument for another day.
