I welcome the delegation and members of the board. I have been mentioned here on numerous occasions in the past so it is not a secret but I will put on the record that I am chairman of Kilbeggan racecourse so I have a vested interest in this area. I have been a member for 36 years and it is a great honour for me to be chairman for the past ten years. My heart is in what we call the provincial tracks; we do not like being called the weaker tracks. I had no intention of getting parochial until Deputy Cahill tried to pull the rug from under Kilbeggan in favour of Thurles.
