The question relates to the Minister's plans, if any, to amend the controversial foal levy. During the week, the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine heard from Mr. Brian Kavanagh, CEO of Horse Racing Ireland, HRI. Every person, Deputies from all parties and none, expressed concerns at the foal levy. It is the subject of court proceedings. Maybe a bit of leadership from the Minister's Department in bringing about change might be a better way of resolving what is an issue for people throughout the country.
