I have just a couple more brief questions. They will not be as long-winded. We discussed the authorised officers a lot the last time the witnesses were before us. We also discussed training of the authorised officers and a training manual. I think the Department was to give training. The witnesses can correct me if I am wrong about the following. Was there an incident recently in which authorised officers entered private property in Northern Ireland, outside the jurisdiction of the Twenty-six Counties? While HRI and the IHRB have racing jurisdiction and racing authority there, they were actually breaking the law in that jurisdiction by entering the premises.
