Mr. Mark Flanagan:

There can be different levels of competition. As I mentioned in my summary, we do not have road racing in any other European country; it is unique to Ireland. What is the difference between Ireland and any other country in Europe? We do not have the facilities, we do not have the tracks and we do not have the investment. We have lacked that for so many years. Now we have this antisocial behaviour and we are looking to put plasters over it. We do not want to put plasters over these things. We need to invest in the sport. In thoroughbred, there is amateur racing of different types. In France they run a great amateur programme. It is different from the professionals. Different classes are run, so there is room for everybody.
