That, again, is another positive. Mr. Duggan has just confirmed to the committee that Horse Sport Ireland has a designated, permanent, full-time HR manager. That is positive, and I am glad to hear it.

Horse Sport Ireland is part of the equine stakeholder group and meets with that group. What is the benefit of that? Clearly, all the different stakeholders are participating. I have seen one or two of the minutes, which were circulated. Could Mr. Duggan tell us the benefits of that group? Should it meet more often? How does he find it, in terms of meaningful engagement right across the different elements of this sector? It strikes me as something that is positive, but does Mr. Duggan think it is effective?
