Hold on. It should not be driven by anything. I am sure the witnesses have looked at projections, but they are going to introduce a whole new system. They have to look at what my projection is. They will spend significant amounts of money on this new system. It is out for tender at the moment. If I was in the private sector and was introducing a new way of doing something, I would say that, at the moment, it is taking five months, and that when this is introduced, I will shorten that, or maybe halve it, to two months. I am sure the witnesses have done some sort of projection planning on it. If they have not, I would scrap it.

I am not a breeder. I am just representing constituents and their anger. I am getting that anger from them as a public representative. That anger could be brought to the doors of Horse Sport Ireland. I would not like to see it happening but that is what people are talking about. This is the type of anger that exists. People are on their knees financially. Horse Sport Ireland has horses roaming the country with no passports, but just a letter from Horse Sport Ireland. If any breeders are listening this evening, they would not be inspired by the witnesses' replies.
