In his contribution Mr. Walsh referred to the recognition of fixtures and to section 19 of the 1994 Act which states that before considering removal of a fixture from a racecourse, the race fixtures committee must consult the executive of the racecourse concerned and seek to agree to how such a removal can be achieved having regard to economic importance. This is an amendment Bill. I understand that section will remain in the principal Act.
