-----do that for any sporting organisation but, unfortunately, what we are discussing here today is the subvention of €16.8 million from the Exchequer. That is a viable question to be asked in terms of whether Bord na gCon equates €16.8 million as the requisite sum for the sporting and cultural survival of the greyhound industry. It is a fair question to ask. There cannot be a continuing bailout when in the past two years, we have had to prop up Bord na gCon with an extra €2 million to make sure it survives. There is a major onus on Mr. Dollard as CEO and on the board to make sure the industry starts to wash its face beyond what is happening at the moment.
