Mr. Darragh O'Loughlin:

The IHRB has responsibility for the welfare and safety of all participants in racing during their racing careers. That includes the horses. From the time a horse first enters training and begins its racing career, it is notified on the official racing system, RÁS, as being in training. A trainer registers that horse as being in training with him. From that point until the end of the horse's racing career, when it has run its last race and is no longer being trained for subsequent races, the IHRB has responsibility for its welfare and safety.

For that period, the IHRB has responsibility for the welfare and safety of that horse. We carry out our obligations under this responsibility through pre-race examinations of horses on the racecourse, through our suitability to race programme, which involves examination or inspection of horses on the owner's own premises. Our chief veterinary office, Dr. Hillyer, and her team, check every horse on race day. They trot them up and observe them before they run in a race. When it is not race day, that i s, during out-of-competition days, Dr. Hillyer's team inspects trainers' licensed premises. While the team is there, it will overlook all of the horses. It will identify them to make sure that the horses that should be there are in fact there and it will make sure that every horse that is there has been registered as being there.

Does Dr. Hillyer want to expand on that?
