We will certainly share that with HSI. The Equestrian Competition Venues Owners Alliance, ECVOA, is a representative group of 18 of the biggest equestrian competition venues in Ireland; probably the bedrock of the industry. Competition needs venues and all of these people have invested heavily. In some cases, they have received LEADER funding and State funding. It is very important that these people feel they are being listened to. They have issued us with a series of questions which we will share with HSI. I do not intend to go through all of them. They put the most salient ones at the start. I will give two of them and Mr. Duggan can respond to these.

Is it true that multiple HR cases are still ongoing in HSI? Can Mr. Duggan give some indication as to the staff turnover in the organisation over the past three years? How many people have departed? What was the average length of service for those staff members?
