Mr. Mark Flanagan:

I am in possession of a letter from Deputy Creed, who was Minister for agriculture in 2019 and 2020. It is a positive letter but they were considering making us a beneficiary of the horse and greyhound fund. I do not know how long that consideration takes but they were considering making us a beneficiary of the horse and greyhound fund. We would love to be part of that fund and we think we are entitled to be part of the fund. Were the fund to be set up today, I think we would be part of it because it would not be right to exclude us. To be fair to the then Minister, they did not know about harness racing. We all know about harness racing since I have been coming in here since 2013 or 2014. We can all agree that we are entitled to funding. Should it be the case that fund were set up tomorrow, I think we would be part of that fund.
