The Department of agriculture is the paymaster which gives out the money. Is Mr. Gleeson happy with the Irish Greyhound Board's performance and the way it is running its business? Is he happy to sign off on giving them money every year, and is he happy with this business plan? Is he happy with the way the procedures are going or has he question marks over the €14.5 million that is being spent and that he is responsible for giving to Bord na gCon? I think we asked Mr. Gleeson this ourselves when he was in front of us. I do not think I was satisfied with the answer he gave either. I am talking about oversight now.
