Sorry to interrupt, but a vote has been called. After Deputy Heydon makes his contribution, Senator O'Brien and Deputy Creighton have still to contribute. Ms Byrne and Mr. Tully must also be given an opportunity to respond. Rather than let Deputy Heydon get into his contribution, we will suspend the meeting until after the vote. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Rather than keep the representatives from Horse Sport Ireland, I thank them for their contribution. If they wish to withdraw and leave during the suspension, that is fine. They are welcome to remain, but the vote process could take ten or 15 minutes.
