Will Dr. Smyth give us a commitment the Department will drive this on within the next six to eight months?

My last question is to Mr. Sheahan on sport horses. I understand the Department is sorting this at the moment, but over recent years, if you had a horse and you brought it to the stallion, seemingly there was a body appointed for this book that you get and they were sending it out to the guy that owned the stallion. Why would that be? Why would it be allowed? It is the person who owns the foal who should get the book. I understand the Department is aware of this and is sorting it at the moment. Is that not an unusual situation?
