This is going to be part of the Bill and I want to know about it. Information is important. The Minister is here and he is the boss. Is it intended to go back to market value in the case of the foal levy? Is it fair that the lower the amount, the more the person has to pay? The percentage decreases from over 1% down to 0.9%. A number of people have contacted me on the matter and I am only making the point so that I can support the regulation. I will only do that on condition that the Minister make a commitment to the Irish Harness Racing Association.
