Mr. Frank Nyhan:

Yes, we are in favour of the concept, if it can be done. Our chief executive and the chief executive of HRI have discussed the matter. The next step will be having some form of sub-committee to prepare a report on its feasibility. There are challenges in that regard. I am not an expert in the field, but apparently there are physiological differences between dogs and horses that will require a dual testing system. It does stand to reason that having an Irish based sports laboratory for animals would be a very good idea.
