Mr. Mark Flanagan:

Yes. We have a trainer who is racing in Belgium at the moment and will then go to Holland. There are opportunities, although people are slow to take them. We have signed an agreement with France whereby we are allowed to breed French horses in Ireland and they are then allowed to race in France. We have approximately 130 trainers, although they do not have as many horses as thoroughbred trainers do. We have some full-time trainers, but there are others who train after work. It is similar to what happens in harness racing across Europe. There are many husband-and-wife teams with a horse in the amateur programmes in Europe. They pursue their sport in their spare time and it is a family activity at the weekend.
