Mr. Brian Kavanagh:

The first question is above my pay grade. I do not think it is fair to say the IHRB is not answerable to anybody. As Mr. Egan has explained, it is required to account monthly to Horse Racing Ireland for the spending of its funds, it is audited annually by the Comptroller and Auditor General and there is a regular, day-to-day relationship with Horse Racing Ireland. I outlined at the start of the meeting the legislative framework that applies to horse racing. That is a matter for legislators to set out. We work within the framework we have. As I said, the structure has delivered an industry which can be and is a source of pride for the country. It is also a sector in which Ireland performs exceedingly well internationally. It is a sector in which Ireland has natural advantages: our climate, our soil structure, our people and a history of political support, which has created a very strong structure. It is a valuable industry. The structure is set out in legislation and we apply it, but I do not accept the suggestion that the IHRB is not answerable to anybody.

The second question is, I think, one for Dr. Hillyer.
