I also welcome our guests. I hope these issues can be resolved. What we are discussing today is dominated by the equestrian events, including showjumping. Shane and Trevor Breen are from my own town of Cashel. I hope these matters are all fixed before the Olympic Games. We could do with medals back in Cashel after it all.

In his opening statement, Mr. Duggan said that there would be an open call to all equestrians to apply to become directors. He also mentioned that a prospective candidate could come from any one of the 30 affiliated organisations or be a members of an active stakeholder groups. In developing that proposal, did HSI engage with other affiliates or elsewhere? After the issues we have heard about in recent times, co-operation should be at the appropriate level.
