Mr. Nicky Hartery:

My objective is to see the industry becoming self-funding, if that is the right word, in order that the funding in the industry is used to promote a better industry, higher foal numbers, better breeding and, as a result, more people employed. It is a labour intensive industry and that would be better for the country as it is very much driven on a rural basis.

The Deputy's last question was on the management, and I assume he was referring to HRI management, and how things were managed. I believe the chairman has a couple of key responsibilities. One is strategy. One makes sure the strategy is appropriate for the business one is running. The second thing is talent. That is something I have yet to get into within HRI and to work with the team there, but my understanding from the outgoing chairman is that he was quite pleased with the management and so forth. Respectfully, as the Deputy asked me the question he can take it that I am responsible for it. I will make sure I follow through on that and ensure we meet all needs.
