On that, I read this weekend where Mr. Kimmage tried to get in contact with Dr. Hillyer. If we are to have a sound racing horse racing industry, why not sit down with Mr. Kimmage face to face and clear whatever is in the air there once and for all? I was a Minister for nine and a half years and if somebody had an issue, I would sit down with him or her and clear the air unless for legal reasons. What are Dr. Hillyer's problems? Can we help her put all her cards on the table for Mr. Kimmage to put all his cards on the table? We have a "Panorama" television programme coming up. Of all the correspondence, I have got more correspondence in the past number of days than what I did previously leading up to last week's meeting. I would love to go through it but I cannot because I have not the time. My time is up and there are other members wanting to get in.
