For the benefit of my colleagues, Mr. Fagan runs what is probably one of the most successful equestrian centres and competition venues in the country. I am fortunate to live a little down the road from it. If I go out my back door, I also have Cavan Equestrian Centre, so I have two of the best in the country there. Anybody who visits those venues or any of the other competition venues over the summer will see just how busy those are, but more importantly, they will see the scale of investment these competition venues have made in their enterprises. I suppose as these are commercial venues, Mr. Fagan and those like him cannot apply for sports capital funding.
