Yes, I agree. That is what we should do. The greater the transparency, the better the integrity of the sector but that has been called into question. The sector is worth billions of euro to the economy and one can see that from the results from Cheltenham last week. I concur with everybody's congratulations to Rachael Blackmore and all of the trainers. It is a very successful industry and we would like to keep its integrity levels high but all of the things relating to the CCTV footage have called that into question. That should be a priority. Trainers are licensed. There are no impediments from not having this on an IT system but the integrity of the sector is in question when we do not have the CCTV footage where it should be.

Again, I ask about the submissions. Maybe the clerk can confirm that we did not request them but I was under the impression that I did make a request but the details have not come back in any correspondence.
