I will go back to the questions that were asked about Horse Sport Ireland. I know Deputy Collins put a question to Mr. Treacy on Dr. Reed's letter. Alongside Dr. Reed's letter there was a sort of report and commentary on the points he was making. Deputy Collins asked whether the council would meet him, which is fine. If I read the letter coldly, I would be concerned about the issues that Dr. Reed raised, particularly the details he gave in terms of his view on the legislation. I know it is only his view and there is the other side of it. He also asked various questions on the role HSI has or should have or what he perceives it should have. Mr. Treacy said in his reply that he replied to Dr. Reed's letter.
