To be fair to Dr. Gaynor, some of these issues are news to me. The problem goes back to the fundamental aspect of a lack of communication and listening to the federation, in particular. Mr. Meaney mentioned that he would be available to meet or to communicate. The fundamental point is that he is the chairman of the IGB, Bord na gCon, which is a remunerated position. The volunteers, the owners and the breeders are not. Therefore, the IGB needs to take a lead role and to facilitate, whether it is quarterly engagement with the owners and the breeders. Until that happens, one will not have the communication that has been talked about in the Indecon report. The improvement is not going to take place. It is "Killinaskully"-type stuff - I am available to meet anybody.
