Mr. Denis Duggan:

That is a very pertinent question. Regarding our role in welfare, we place animal welfare at the centre of everything we do. It is important to clarify that unlike Horse Racing Ireland or the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board, the racing regulatory body, for example, we do not possess any statutory powers or jurisdiction to prosecute individuals or organisations for equine welfare violations within the sport horse industry. As the governing body for equestrian sport, our primary role and responsibility revolves around the promotion of standards, such as the Fédération Equestre Internationale, FEI, code of conduct for welfare of horses. We also run an anti-doping programme that is funded by Sport Ireland, again, in line with the FEI codes on anti-doping. I might refer to our head of sport, Ms. Everett, who may wish to comment further on it as well.
