To finish the point, if it is helpful to Deputies in terms of their concerns, we can leave the words, which we also put in to try to be helpful, as they were on Committee Stage, namely, “to maintain the existing nature of point-to-point steeplechases”.

Otherwise, we can put in what we regard as strengthening the position of the national steeplechase committee, following the conversation we had on Committee Stage, namely, “to administer and control the integrity of point-to-point steeplechases”, in other words, that they would administer it, control it and run it, and run the integrity services of it.
