I apologise for not being in the room for the witnesses' opening statement because I had to go to the Chamber, but I watched it being broadcast.

I might focus on the issue of passports. I am increasingly concerned by what I am hearing from producers. HSI has been awarded the €3.5 million contract from the Department of Education for the new e-passports, which is significant. It is my understanding there were three tenders, namely, one for the national breeding programme and one for the equine e-passport, both of which HSI successfully tendered for, and a third tender was awarded to the Irish Horse Board for marketing and promotion. As Mr. Carroll rightly pointed out, HSI is funded almost exclusively from Sport Ireland and the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Is it correct to say HSI took a judicial review or challenged the outcome of those tenders?
