Mr. Mark Flanagan:

We are licensed to issue passports. We are a passport-issuing authority, and our passports are recognised all over the world. We export horses to France, the UK and America. We have exported a lot of horses to America, and it is a market that is starting to open. American people are looking at Ireland now in the context of breeding. Now we have access to the top stallions in America and hopefully we will have access to the top stallions in Europe. There remain a few laws to be passed. We are no different from thoroughbreds. Ireland is a great nation for horses. We are a horse-loving nation. We have great expertise with horses, and trotting is no different. There is no difference. The thoroughbred industry only started with its breeding operations in the late 1990s, and look at it now. It is a world leader. There is no reason that we could not cut out a niche for ourselves on the world market within 20 years.
