Andrew Doyle (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

On the point of the pre-legislative scrutiny, one of our recommendations was that there would be a second seat for people from the industries' committee on the board of Horse Racing Ireland, which would include the employees of the stable industry, which is the biggest cohort of people working in the industry by far. Deputy Ferris made a reference to people who work in big and small yards all over the country and they amount to by far the most significant number of people, so we have included that in our recommendation. We hope the Minister and his officials take that on board.

At the conclusion of this discussion, can I take it that the joint committee recommends that there should be no further debate on the motion by Dáil or Seanad Éireann? Is that agreed? Agreed.

That concludes our consideration of the motion. In accordance with Standing Orders, a message will be sent to the acting Clerk of the Dáil and the Clerk of the Seanad, stating that this committee has completed its consideration of the motion. I propose that a report on the proceedings of today's meeting be laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas. Is that agreed? Agreed.
