Dr. Kevin Smyth:

Regarding the receipt of the €10 million, €9 million goes to the IHRB from HRI. There is a two-year memorandum of understanding dealing with the matter. It runs to 24 pages and goes into some detail about how Irish horse racing is regulated. It explains exactly what the money is for and how it is accounted for. There are codes of governance and financial standards.

Certain issues that we are dealing with here do not just relate to HRI. The Department also has to deal with welfare and other concerns. I will hand over to Mr. Sheahan to address the question on the identification of horses.
