The support Greyhound Racing Ireland gets could decrease if Horse Racing Ireland, HRI, brought a bad proposal to the Department and the Department decided that, since HRI got €70 million in 2022, it only needed €60 million next year. Automatically, Greyhound Racing Ireland's funding would be reduced. If the Department decided that the greyhound racing sector needed to be maintained at €18 million per annum, HRI would get €70 million even though there was an adjudication that it only needed €60 million. Does Mr. Nyhan not see the problem?
