Okay. Going back to Dr. Smyth, we know HRI receives a substantial level of State funding and we know how important the horse racing sector is to many rural economies. This year there was an increase in HRI funding from the Department from €84 million to €96 million. That is a €12 million increase, which is substantial at a time when many sectors would have given their right arm for something similar. With that extra funding, were there any additional conditions with regard to regulation, monitoring, enforcement or with regard to the distribution of that funding?
