For the record, I am a thoroughbred owner and a member of owners' groups. Some very strong statements have been made about medicines being bought on one horse identification licence and being administered to another horse. That may be the exception but it is not the norm. It would be remiss of me not to defend myself and my colleagues in that regard. There are rogues in every sector of life, unfortunately. We seem to have deviated significantly from the topic, which is Horse Care Ireland and cruelty. We have gone down many different channels. The carry-on Mr. Leahy mentioned, if it is happening, would be the exception and not the norm.
