We will deal with that later.

We will now consider category C, correspondence that has been issued by non-government bodies. No. R0109 is from Senator Chris Andrews relating to Greyhound Racing Ireland, GRI. The Senator highlights concerns regarding the use of funding for greyhound care homes. He has also issued an additional email with a link to a recent article in the Irish Examiner, which reports on issues regarding greyhound prize money. I have flagged this. I am aware that GRI has been before the committee in the past. Animal welfare is an issue of interest to all members. At a future meeting, we can look at bringing in the Department of agriculture and GHI to have a look at this issue and the concern has been raised.
