I did not know, for example, that it was the Irish Coursing Club that is responsible for the stud book. It might be worth sending some of that information, or even that document, to the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine; it will come under that Department in terms of welfare. This is a wider welfare issue that is not in our remit but it is not getting to the totality of the animal welfare issue. I have concerns in this regard and for that reason we should send it to the joint committee.
