Mr. Paul Benson:

I think that issue will be addressed as part of the work with the expert group report. I am aware that the Department of Education has an interest in this area, and rightly so. The issue of horse welfare and appropriate facilities is very important so its involvement is to be welcomed. It will be fleshed out when that expert group project is advanced. It concerns what it will mean in the long term in terms of the type of accommodation that is provided and what facilities or amenities are provided alongside or in proximity to it.
