Mr. Phil Meaney:

Exactly. We can keep looking back, but the problems were not imaginary. Some people in the greyhound business believed that we could magic away the problems. We could not. They were real problems that had to be faced. The board had the opportunity to kick the problems down the road, but it chose - the last few board members who joined in 2015 in particular - to face up to those problems in the belief that doing so would make for a better industry. Deputy Aylward knows that he and I are from the same constituency. I am committed to the greyhound industry. I knew that the problems existed when I joined. I did not join for an easy ride. God knows what I get out of this, but I joined with the belief that we could solve the problems. I accept Deputy Cullinane's point but, on the assumption that the deal goes through, the business will be in a terrific place. If we all stopped talking about what happened in 2005, 2013, 2011 and 2009 and got behind the industry, it could be a great one.
