I ask Ms Eade to give us an understanding of the distribution. How was the €50 million paid in prize money for 2020 distributed? That would give us a bit of transparency on the use of Exchequer funds to fund prize money. It is difficult to process why we are using Exchequer funds and taxpayer money to fund the top five trainers in the industry. We need some visibility on that a rationale for it. We need information on how this is being distributed and improved over time.
