It is a bit rich. I had better declare that I am a barrister by profession. The racing regulatory body and others have been in contact with us about this. We have an opportunity to do the right thing, even at this stage. The Minister said it is easy to delete sections but difficult to introduce new ones. Some of the amendments propose doing that. Let us be practical, however, and do the right thing in this section. I would be surprised if the Minister's officials are not taking cognisance of some of the points that are being made in this regard.
