Mr. Darragh O'Loughlin:

I would hope to see the majority of those racecourses on the list having cameras up by the end of this year. Issues have arisen, up to and including a shortage of electronic components on the world market. We are progressing the project with a professional project manager as quickly as it can be done, having regard to the need to secure value for the public purse and assure the quality of the system. As far as reluctance to install the system goes, there is no reluctance on our part. We recognise that the CCTV system provides an additional layer of security for participants in racing.
