Overall, it is 10% of its State funding, at a minimum. It is spending more than that as things stand. Looking at it across the board, the projected spend of RCÉ for this year on traceability, in particular, was €336,000. For care and welfare programmes, it was €750,000; for veterinary care at tracks, it was more than €300,000; for the national greyhound laboratory, it was €400,000; and for welfare inspections, it was €175,000. The total is over and above the 10% RCÉ required under the funding arrangement I, as Minister, and the Department have set as a requirement of funding.
