I cannot comprehend that. You take away a product, and you are meant to keep 80% of the profit, but you are not giving any record of the weights. That will most definitely have to be explained.

It is not for me to say, but the committee will discuss what it heard here this evening. It is fair to say that we will be in correspondence with Coillte. A lot of unanswered questions have been raised here.

I would like to thank the witnesses for coming in this evening. The joint committee will next meet in private on Wednesday, 31 May at 5.30 p.m., when it will undertake an examination of issues impacting horse racing in Ireland. As there is no further business, the meeting now stands adjourned.
