Will the findings in respect of whether Mr. Justice Clarke agrees that the video evidence constitutes rapping be made available? We have one international equine expert who has viewed the videos and, I believe, gave a report to Horse Sport Ireland, which said that the video footage showed the use of a metal bar that was likely to cause excessive pain and unnecessary discomfort to horses. My understanding is that Mr. Justice Clarke is to make a decision that will make it easier for everybody in the future to determine whether that practice constitutes rapping. Will that information, at least, be made public?
