It is a hugely important industry in the context of job creation, tourism promotion and so on. I agree with my colleagues that the case made by the Irish Harness Racing Association is compelling and worthy of consideration. A number of harness racers are racing on roadways. Some provision, in terms of a track, should be made for them, such that they no longer have to race on the roadways, which is very dangerous.
