Mr. Brian Kavanagh:

We would definitely need to look at supports in that regard, but the key issue in that respect concerns the knock-on impact such a situation would have on the sale of three and four year old national hunt horses in June this year. People may not have the opportunity to sell and that would be similar to a situation of a farmer being told he cannot sell this year's cattle. The result would be that farmer having a backlog for the following year.
