Ms Avalon Everett:

We have opened a public consultation to the entire industry. We have set out the draft proposal of what we believe is a suitable mechanism to appoint industry directors to the board of Horse Sport Ireland. The closing date is 17 August, allowing sufficient time for each committee, board, working group and breeder group to come together over the summer to provide their comments on the proposals. In August, we will take it away and the board can review those proposals. It is not set in stone at the moment. It is a public consultation on a possible new mechanism.
