Mr. Brian Kavanagh:

I understand. It is not the plan. The opportunity to sell parts of Leopardstown is limited.

We are in the process of selling a site there to the Department of Education and Skills for construction of a school. As Mr. Hartery stated, that transaction will fund the redevelopment of the stands and weigh rooms in Leopardstown. There is opportunity for such development but it is limited largely to Leopardstown. Most of the other 25 racecourses in the country are located in rural towns and are of limited value. I did not misinterpret the Deputy's question. I was just trying to give a broad picture. Previous boards considered the development option and moved away from it, presumably for the same reasons it was not pursued at Lansdowne Road or Croke Park, for example. Leopardstown is the headquarters of racing in Dublin and has significant tradition. If one sells it, it is gone. Part of it will be sold and that will assist the redevelopment of the racecourse.
