If somebody received €1,000 or €2,000 that is fine. It is a small amount of travel. I am trying to find how many staff are in each band. I am concerned there might be some very high figures. I have no idea. I hope the information will tell us. I am not making any comment but €500,000 looks high. I understand there is travel every weekend to the 1,500 race meetings being held and I give Bord na gCon credit for this.

My next point will be addressed to Mr. Smyth of the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

Somebody graciously gave us a copy of the legislation on animal welfare that was enacted this year. I asked a question about the Irish Coursing Club. Who runs that organisation? I know it is not under Bord na gCon which is why I am asking the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine representative. Who runs it, because it operates the stud book for dogs?
