I confirm that I am here in Leinster House. I welcome Mr. Kavanagh and Ms Eade and thank them for their attendance.

I will start with some questions on Leopardstown racetrack, which is in my constituency. I welcome the redevelopment that is taking place there and which is long overdue. It is very good that it has started. I also welcome the works under way at the Curragh. Mr. Kavanagh might not have the information I am looking for to hand, in which case he might send it to me after the meeting. I am interested in the numbers of attendees at Leopardstown in 2017, 2018 and 2019. In regard to the redevelopment taking place there, I note in the documentation we received in advance of the meeting a reference to a number of claims with the contractors. I am not asking the witnesses to get into what those claims are about but will they indicate how many there are?
