With respect, if I may interject, many people are being given a pass card. Perhaps that is not the case in Mr. Calleary's organisation but people around the country are being a pass card because they have a family tradition of owning horses. We all come from a family tradition of owning horses. Every family in this country had a farming background at one point. If you go through your own family album, you will see horses and donkeys bringing your family to the town or the fair, or wherever else. We all come from that background. That does not give us a right to have a horse tethered to every corner.
