I welcome the Minister. We have discussed this fund before. It is unique as it is the only line in the budget that must be distinctly approved by the Oireachtas and it is distinct as the split between horse racing and greyhound racing is enforced in accordance with the Act. Following the approval by the Dáil - assuming it is received - the Minister allocates the funding via parameter letters to both organisations. Does the Minister plan to expand the parameters in next year's correspondence to either or both organisations?
