Ms Suzanne Eade:

In the original plan, which was produced just prior to the problems of Covid, we were hoping to get to more than 1.5 million. That was the growth potential that we were talking about. Those two years have been tough. We have been very lucky in that people have stayed very engaged. In fact, the engagement with our sport went up during Covid. We were one of the few interesting sporting events at a time when people could not go and enjoy a lot of sport and racing got a really good platform.

There are a lot of different areas. I mentioned the fact that it is about event creation. People are looking for a lot more when they come racing. The festivals themselves are giving a lot of entertainment to people. If we take Leopardstown, for example, in the next month or so, we have musical events. People can enjoy racing for the day, and they can enjoy a band or music afterwards.
