There are 11 amendments in this group. While some of them have a direct relationship with each other, they are diverse. As such, I do not think they should all be discussed together. As amendment No. 26 is the central amendment in this context, I suggest it be discussed on its own. We can decide after that discussion whether the other amendments need to be discussed separately. Amendment No. 93, which has been ruled out of order because it supposedly involves a potential charge on the Exchequer, proposes that the Irish Greyhound Board, rather than the Irish Coursing Club, should deal with the registration of greyhounds. I do not know how that can be said to involve a charge on the Exchequer.
