I thank Dr. Hillyer for her presentation. Horse Racing Ireland underwent a similar legislative process a couple of years ago, which is why we wanted to see how it was operating in light of our examination of the greyhound Bill.

What is the optimum annual number of tests for a yard that has 20 horses? Does the Turf Club publish the results of tests, both positive and negative, so that there is a record?

Sport Ireland has referred to strict liability and the fact that all adverse tests lead to sanctions that can be mitigated afterwards based on, for example, whether a supplement was taken. What is Dr. Hillyer's view on that and does the Turf Club operate the same system? Would it be desirable in the greyhound industry?
