Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

Indecon, which is regarded a reputable team of consultants, independently compiled a report on behalf of the Irish Thoroughbred Breeders Association and Horse Racing Ireland. Indecon estimates the gross figure foregone is €3 million, although I do not say I agree. I will find out about the Cinderella clause, about which the Deputy is worried, and whether a stallion must be out of the country before or after midnight. That does not make much sense but I will inquire into it.
