We mentioned regulation before and it ties into doping in the industry. There have been some changes in AI rules but it has been brought to my attention that Bord na gCon is still allowing illegal dogs to compete under the new regulations. Is that correct? Mr. Meaney will say that the coursing club looks after the registration but it is subject to the general control and direction of Bord na gCon. I am reading from the legislation. I have been told that the board knows there are illegal dogs competing as we speak. How does Mr. Meaney handle that?
