Mr. Brian Kavanagh:

No. I think it goes back to the point I made earlier about funding. We are looking for the support of members of this committee on the funding issue. That is just one area. Deputy Clare Daly has spoken about staff and we spoke of other areas that need further investment. I believe that further investment will generate a significant return for the country if we can move away from the perception of a sport to an environmentally friendly natural industry. Our intention is to increase the funding for point to point meetings, if possible. In order to do that we need an overall funding solution for the industry and we believe we have that solution. I am always wary of somebody from Cork who is claiming that he or she does not know that much about something, but Senator Lombard is from the heartland of point to point. It was good to be able to do something for the point to point sector this year. A good case was made for funding and fortunately we were able to do that. I think that will produce a good yield. It will benefit local communities. If somebody has a horse running in a point to point, people in the village or the town will go to see the horse. Those horses then graduate on to the racetrack. It is a huge nursery for Horse Racing Ireland at all levels. If we can address the funding issue, it will be our intention to continue to fund and increase funding for point to point meetings. It has been very well received and was badly needed.
