I thank Mr. O'Dwyer for his presentation. I do not have a great understanding of the horse racing industry apart from going to the races. Obviously I am aware of the beauty of these incredible animals. I echo Senator Paul Daly's concern about the priority of horse racing in Mrs. May's list. The reality of going through borders, particularly from North to South would be very worrying for thoroughbred horses. That would be something that I too would be very concerned about. I would also be concerned about the economic impact of change.

Senator Craughwell put a question to the President of the Ulster Farmers Union this morning and I am going to ask the same question. Senators Craughwell and Richmond were in Brussels and the nub of the question that was put to them, was to give an ideal, no matter how over the top it might be, of what they would like to see. What would be the ideal dream scenario for the ITBA?
