Neasa Hourigan: I thank Mr. Conroy. Returning to the figures given in that report, Greyhound Racing Ireland gives figures for the outlay of a trainer who is taking on a dog. The mount involved is just under €6,000. Is that correct?

Neasa Hourigan: Greyhound Racing Ireland's traceability schemes do not include coursing dogs, however. Is that right?
