Mr. Barry O'Connor:

With regard to Horse Sport Ireland we have used a lot of its figures in this report. One of the Deputy's question was if we had sent the report there. Yes we have and we liaise with Horse Sport Ireland all of the time. On the question about the Olympic Council of Ireland, the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport gives some funding to Horse Sport Ireland for podium funding. This is for championships, world games and the Olympics. They work with them but on a results basis, in order to gain results in the sport internationally. The chairman of Horse Sport Ireland will be able to make a better presentation.
