I have a few questions for the representatives of the Department and the IHRB. I can come back to Mr. Osborne, if he wants to go through the recommendations. To be helpful, I might reference some of the recommendations that I am talking about. Recommendation No. 4 states that the committee believes an independent review of the horse racing industry by an outside body is needed to ensure that Ireland’s procedures match international best practices. This review by the independent body should, it continues, include a full audit of all tests previously carried out, with particular reference to five particular points, which are then set out. Does the Department intend to establish that review?
