Mr. Ronan Corrigan:

If it is international, I cannot speak for that because it would be the remit of Horse Sport Ireland, which would be the one dealing with the international competitors. We can speak for the national events. Nationally, there is a very defined system where the membership model and the competition model have a levy and a payment scheme that is done in agreement with the many venues and the members when they become members. For Showjumping Ireland, from every round that is jumped nationally, it collects €1.50 from the entry fee, which goes back to the organisation. That is predominantly used to help fund insurance provision, of which we have a huge requirement in our sport. We are all in the unlucky situation where we are getting hit with massive insurance premiums for our activities. That money goes predominantly towards that.

From our prize funds for our high-end classes, a 10% levy is provided.
