I thank the Chair. I refer to the whistleblower and Mr. Paul Kimmage. I was Minister of State with responsibility for sport. Mr. Kimmage has been consistent, brave and honest all his life regarding all sports. Horse racing is a sport and we must protect it and the industry. There are a lot of jobs in the industry that are very valuable to the country. At the same time, spectators must also know that whatever horse they are betting on is equal to the horse it is running against. Has anybody from any organisation made contact with Mr. Kimmage regarding his allegations?
