That is great. I am conscious of time, so I will push on.
I have a question about the status of the Minister's nominees. The Minister currently has three nominees on Horse Sport Ireland's board. He could have brought four, has the exercised the four? Okay, they were brought in with various skill sets and are very able and accomplished people. What is their status? I will tell the witnesses what my understanding is before I finish the question. I understand they are serving on an interim basis and that it is not envisaged they will be there for the full term. That is not to say the Minister may decide to proceed to give them a new warrant of appointment. It also is not certain whether all of them wish or want to stay or feel they have done their bit. That is another part of the picture. What are the witnesses' understanding of those four members currently, and their terms?
