I welcome those improvements. I am glad that action is being taken on foot of the Comptroller and Auditor General's recommendations. That is positive to hear. I would like to mention two more matters. I will be very brief. I know that there have been a number of attempted break-ins - they were unsuccessful, fortunately - and that crimes have been detected with regard to cash management procedures. I have seen comments suggesting that procedures were not followed correctly and that some of this was caused by staff being under pressure. I will group my questions because I am tight on time. I would also like to ask about the position looking forward. Obviously, an independent review of the greyhound industry has been launched. I think that is a very positive development. I am sure Mr. Neilan agrees. Along with Mr. Meaney, he outlined to the committee at the outset the importance of the greyhound industry. We all share that understanding. He might give us his take on the review, his involvement in it and where he sees it going.
