I thank the deputations for their presentations. Will the representatives of the Irish Jockeys Association offer some clarity on their request for a share in the earnings from the media? What sort of conversations have taken place before now? Why is the association still in a place where it does not have a share? This is an area with which I am not as familiar as many of my colleagues. It seems to me to be fairly straightforward. The Irish Jockeys Association ought to have a share but clearly that is not the case. Will the association elaborate a little?

The betting legislation is pending. Many other organisations pay taxes regardless of their profitability. As the Chairman has said, we know the level of betting has not stopped. I am a little puzzled by that observation. That is my main query.
