I have already said the committee is examining the horse industry from top to bottom, and I suggested it in the first place. This is ongoing, and I understand the intention is to produce a report before the election, depending on when it is, in the same way as we have produced many good reports under the chairmanship of Deputy Andrew Doyle. This process is ongoing and it is the big scene issue. We are doing it in a methodical and systematic way. However, this issue has arisen in the meantime. I am not interested in Horse Sport Ireland coming before the committee.
