As Deputy Carthy has said, it is open to the Minister to change that at any time but the two industries can be subject to similar challenges. There are lots of similarities between them and the last year to 18 months speaks to that in relation to the impact of Covid. Both industries are very much subject to race attendances and have very similar models in that regard. By and large, in terms of the engagement I have had with both organisations in the course of the two budgets I have done, the dynamic has been quite similar from both in relation to the challenges they have had to deal with. I have not seen any reason to alter the ratio but the opportunity is there to do so at some stage in the future if a Minister sees fit.
