Last year, I sought assurances from the Minister that this would be put in place for the autumn races. It is a pity that this did not happen. A non-contentious provision such as this should have just been triggered. We could have passed the relevant legislation in the Dáil and Seanad quite easily and without any real or substantial debate.
