Ms Avalon Everett:

I will comment on anti-doping. We run a national anti-doping programme for the affiliate structure. The current affiliates within the doping programme are Showjumping Ireland, Eventing Ireland and Dressage Ireland. We process approximately 120 test samples for year, generally running from the beginning to the end of the season. The testing is carried out by a panel of veterinarians. As an administrative body, we manage any doping violations and the prosecutions relating to same. As the national federation, our rules are harmonised with the FEI anti-doping rules. Our testing is only done in competition. We do not have any jurisdiction for out-of-competition testing. Our programme is funded by Sport Ireland, as Mr. Duggan said. We also receive contributions to the fund from affiliates. Year on year, we generally try to ensure that we have a level of awareness around our doping programme. This is something that we are trying to work on in terms of expanding the number of horses tested. Our level of testing is not comparable with that of the thoroughbred industry. It is something that is integral to our strategic initiatives and to the integrity of the breeding production level of the sport horse industry going forward.
