A number of issues need to be dealt with here. Primarily, we have been told that a business case was put forward. We need to know where that business case is and if this committee can get a copy of it. Second, who developed that business case? From where did it come and who set out the business case? Was it the board or was it simply the chairperson, because there is some concern that the business case was not something that was put forward by the board of Horse Racing Ireland and, indeed, if it exists at all, that it is a very slim document? We must to get to the nub of these issues. Ultimately, my question is whether the Minister was misled by persons in Horse Racing Ireland in regard to this matter.
