Many of the members have brought up some of my questions. There is no point in being repetitive.

Being from a country background, I have an interest. Everybody has an interest in horse racing, but maybe not to the degree that other members have. I certainly would be supportive of all horse racing. I have been to the road trotting and the local guys there find it hard to survive with little funding.

I would like to ask Mr. Grassick whether he thinks it is acceptable that a self-elected gentleman's club receiving Government funding - it was up to €9 million last year - is not answerable to anyone?
