Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

In terms of the equine sector, we are putting in place knowledge transfer groups - I understand 24 have been approved. The Department is working with facilitators to get those up and running. There has been a delay in approving groups. As I understand it, this is due mainly to proving ownership of broodmares. Nevertheless, we will work through that. It is a very welcome new initiative. There is also a review of Horse Sport Ireland's relationship with its affiliates being undertaken, and how to best undertake that at the current time.
