Mr. Pat Creed:
Off the top of my head, one outcome was the sales event in Shelbourne Park last June. That came out of the consultative forum. We agreed to have a sales event in Shelbourne Park. It was a major success. Many dogs were sold for big money. It was a great boost for the industry. I hope the problem is gone now, but some people seem to be saying "if". The problem is that with the debt gone, we can now look at rewarding the people who are keeping this industry going, including the owners, breeders and trainers. We will have substantial funds to do that in the current year.
