That is perfect. That is interesting.

Unfortunately, I am not an expert in horses. Yet, any time I come in, there is litigation going on, committees are resigning, and one is looking at the other. Is all that over? What is the story with all this litigation? Has that been parked to one side? I understand this is an interim board. When does it think it will have all the people sitting down together so there can finally be an agreement? The taxpayers are giving lots of moneys to different groups. It is as simple as that. There is nothing worse than seeing fall-out. The general public is looking at this, seeing figures being given and looking at everything going on in the background. Even the ordinary person who does not know much about it will raise their eyebrow and ask about what is going on there. That is not good for the industry. We need to make sure that it is positive.

The positive side of it is in the area of show jumping. A person might not know damn all about a horse but can watch the show jumping, which they like. Irish horses are doing well. There is a good market for them in different countries. What is the lie of the land there at the moment?
